Building a Legacy of Grace

Building For The Next Generation

Since our founding in 1946, Grace Adventures is passionate about seeing students, adults, and families grow deeper in their relationship with God and one another. Our campus and programs have been a place for people to step away from their ordinary life so that they can encounter God in a real and life-transforming way. However, we have seen the world continue to descend into isolation, division, and a lack of hope purpose, and godly leadership.

The need is too great and the cause too compelling for Grace Adventures to remain the same.

God has called us to change that trajectory by equipping individuals and families to be a beacon of life for Christ through building healthy relationships, evangelism, discipleship, and leadership training which serve as the foundation for godly families, healthy churches, supportive communities, and a transformed world.

One Life Touched by God can Change the World

Over the years, Grace Adventures has consistently grown to serve more and more people, allowing greater opportunities to impact people with Jesus Christ, one child, father, mother, church at a time. Our 40+ ministry programs span all age groups, group sizes, and demographics to provide unique ministry experiences for kids, adults, families, churches, schools, and businesses.

Our heartbeat is to see the lost saved, the discouraged strengthened, and the broken made whole by the living Word of God. The need to share the gospel in a Christ-centered environment is greater than ever.

Legacy of Stewardship

At Grace Adventures our program fees and program-related gifts cover 100% of our operating expenses.

That means that every dollar that is invested in the ministry by individuals, families, businesses, and foundations goes straight into scholarships for campers, annual programs, equipment upgrades, and capital projects.

Amid 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic, Grace Adventures was able to complete $1.86 million of fundraising payments and emerge from the hardest season of ministry in our history debt-free.

Building A Legacy for Future Generations

The major project in this campaign, our new dining center, offers a world-class dining experience for both children and adults. Through having sufficient seating for all guests to dine together we gain at least 6 additional hours of program ministry time every day.

Additionally, through a ministry-centered design, we are now able to incorporate programming into meal times for a more integrated experience. This includes events, worship and teaching sessions, and themed activities.

The improved kitchen and dining room allow us to enhance menus, provide a more comfortable experience for adults, and serve multiple groups at once. Overlooking Upper Silver Lake, Lakeview Commons turns meal times into another opportunity for ministry to happen.

Future Projects to Increase Impact

Replacing 55 Year Old Cabins

Replacing our original cabins will bring our year-round capacity up to approximately 400 beds, increasing bathroom space, and creating a more relational environment for groups through joint meeting rooms. These Cabins will be significantly more comfortable for adults than our current cabins while still meeting the needs of children.

Building a new Welcome Center

This will provide a clear check-in point for groups, improve campus security, and increase staff workspaces.

Remodeling the Keep Building

Remodeling the Keep will increase seating in our main meeting space and additional additional large group meeting spaces and create a larger camp store.

Upgrading Infrastructure

Paving roads and parking, increasing accessibility, and adding additional lighting around campus.
