Overview

Each year, Maranatha works with organizations in the United States and Canada to provide volunteer labor for various construction or renovation projects. Camp Lawroweld is one of our many efforts based in North America.

Camp Lawroweld was originally constructed as “North Woods Maine Camp” for the boys of Yale University. Built around 1900, this post and beam lodge has one of the largest stone fireplaces in the state of Maine. The camp is situated on beautiful Lake Weld, a natural glacial lake surrounded by mountains.

Volunteers on this project will help with multiple tasks throughout the camp, including plumbing and electrical, renovating the boys bathroom, repairing waterfront docks, and removing trees. They will also finish the pine tongue and groove in a remodeled cabin we started last fall.

Please consider joining us for this project!

Project Stats: Project Stats:91vol.work days*7hrs*$30=$19,110.

Volunteers assisted with painting in the boys bathhouse, installation of shower and toilet dividers, installed new LED track lighting in the Craft House, installation of tongue and groove pine in a cabin as well, and helped rebuild walkways to the docks.
