Trip Information
Overview
The Big Lake Youth Camp (OR) Project is one of our many efforts based in North America. Each year, Maranatha works with organizations in the United States and Canada to provide volunteer labor for various construction or renovation projects.
Big Lake Youth Camp has served as an outdoor sanctuary for summer campers and retreats since 1962. However, their location in Sisters, Oregon means harsh winters, which leads to severe tolls on several buildings which are now in need of repairs and updates. On this project volunteers will help with painting.
