SEE THE VISION
Campfire Ministries Vision is to develop Camp Bob into expanded and multi-Seasonal programs. In Order to facilitate the growth of our programs, we are continually improving the infrastructure at camp bob.
Camp bob is a young camp that literally sprung up out of the forest floor in 2002. Accessible by water and hiking trail only for the first 12 years, a road was finally constructed into camp bob in 2014. with year-round accessibility now possible, development has taken on a new perspective allowing us to improve on much needed infrastructure. for more of the history of camp Bob, click on Camp Bob's Story.

Site Prep for Quonset Shop
THE QUONSET sHOP
TOTAL FUNDS NEEDED: $35,000
A 35 x 60 steel Quonset has been donated to Camp Bob. We are in process of the site preparation for constructing the building. Funds will cover foundations, floors, interior walls and insulation.
THE STAFF CABINS
TOTAL FUNDS NEEDED: $30,000 ($15,000 EACH)
UPDATE: THIS PROJECT HAS BEEN FUNDED!!!
In 2017, we framed 2 Staff Cabins c/w metal roofing. We want to weatherproof both cabins with - doors, windows, skylights and siding for our 2018 Season. Each cabin can hold up to 12 staff.
Girls Cabin, Spring 2017
GIRLS BATHROOM UNIT
TOTAL FUNDS NEEDED: $15,000
Our growing Camp requires more bathroom services for campers and staff. A 4-plex bathroom unit c/w 2 in-ground tanks will make that possible. We want to construct the unit it in a way that it can be compatible with converting to a septic system in the future.
rOCK CLIMBING STORAGE SHED
TOTAL FUNDS NEEDED: $2,000
A pressure treated weatherproof structure to store all our climbing gear up at the Rock Climbing Zone throughout the Summer Season. This building has been started and needs completing.
aRCHERY PROGRAM SHELTER
TOTAL FUNDS NEEDED: $4000
A pressure treated roof structure to cover archers (campers and students) during inclement weather conditions
Rough draft route of 16 Hydro Pole line.
HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER
TOTAL FUNDS NEEDED: $80,000
Camp Bob’s location is ‘off the grid’ from any Hydro services. To date, our power requirements have been managed using portable generators. With increasing power demands to facilitate Kitchen needs, First Aid, Water Supply Management and Sewerage System Management, we are at the point of requiring a consistent and lower maintenance source of power. Our closest access to Hydro is at Hwy 19 and would require approximately two kilometers of power line and 16 poles to bring in power and service Camp Bob.
Campfire Ministries is currently raising funds to make this Project happen in the next couple of years.
