Writer's picture: NLCCANLCCA

A Board meeting was held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, March 2, 2024 . Meetings are held in the Dining Hall at the Camp. Our next meeting is Saturday, April 6, 2024, at 9 a.m.  All are welcome to attend. The aim is to have the meeting adjourned by 10 a.m. to accommodate a work day.


Camp Work Days

Friday, April 5th, and Saturday, April 6th are work days. We hope to see you there!


110 Challenge UPDATE

We have received 5 donations toward the Challenge at this point, with a couple of verbal commitments having been made as well. We ask that you consider taking on this Challenge to help support the Camp!


110 Challenge Details

Having been established in 1914, 2024 is the 110th anniversary of the camp! In honor of this anniversary, the Board is issuing a 110 Challenge. We are inviting 110 people who love Camp Fusion and are passionate about its continued growth to pledge the amount of $110 to be paid between now and July 10th. The money raised through this 110 Challenge will be used to improve and expand our facilities so we can put our mission statement into action and reach more people with the message of Jesus Christ. If you would like to be a part of the 110 Challenge, please notify Cindy Outlaw of your intention by text message to 309-533-8193 or email to l.outlaw@comcast.net.  If you're already giving to Camp Fusion, thank you, and we ask that this Challenge be given above and beyond that offering.

If you have any questions, please contact Tonda Mallory at 309-827-2406.


Camp News

On Friday, March 1st, we received our Illinois State Sales Tax Exemption Certificate! The State issued it on February 26th. This has been a long time coming, and we are grateful this part of the process has been completed. The last piece we’re waiting for is the completion of the updated deed. An attorney has looked everything over, and has everything in hand needed to file with Schuyler County. This piece formally releases the trust clause, and changes the name on file to New Life Christian Camp Association.


Our license to operate as a Camp has been issued.


A used chest freezer was purchased for use in the Sideboard.


The Schuyler County Disc Golf group received their tax exemption status, and are ready to move forward with renovating the course. Meetings with the bank and sponsors are coming up.


In order for us to proceed with the sewer line, the plans we have dating back to 2008 have to be updated to meet code. The estimated cost for this part of the project is $2,000 to $3,000. As we are a non-profit, there are no permit fees, but we do have to obtain a permit, when we are able to proceed. While we have not received a formal bid on the project yet, a rough estimate was drafted. This estimate is based on the current plans, material costs, and estimated labor costs, and it totals over $100,000.


New double/full size mattresses are going to be purchased to replace those of this size in the motel rooms, apartments, and cabins. New linens and pillows will be purchased for all beds in the motel rooms. We are working to make our facilities more comfortable, and inviting.


Volleyball poles, bases, and sleeves have been obtained, and will be set up for use during Camp. A permanent slip ‘n slide is also in the works.


Camp Projects - in progress

Electrical upgrades


Camp Projects - to be done

Installation of a sewer line in order to continue to improve our cabins, as well as expand our facilities. - Tabled for now due to cost (see above)


The interior wood around the Tabernacle doors need painted, and the exterior will need a second coat.


There are several yard lights around the grounds that need to be repaired or replaced.


Cabin 12, Cabin 20, and Cabin 22 need new exterior doors. Cabin 12 needs a window too.


Lights for the sign need to be installed.


New windows need to be installed in the Caretaker’s house.


There are always other things that come up as well. These are the pressing needs for the time being.






Occupancy

We currently have 9 RV spaces and 7 motel rooms rented on a long term basis. The West Apartment is rented through May. All available rooms were rented the weekend of February 23 through 25. At this point, many of the long term rentals are scheduled to vacate by the end of April.


Giving

We do rely on support from our Camp Family, as the rentals are a blessing. The projects we would like to complete are costly, and our current income will not support them. If you do not currently support the Camp financially, we ask that you please consider doing so.


We have 2 options for online giving. We use tithe.ly, which is an app available for both Android and iOS users. We are listed under Rushville Family Camp Assoc, however, our New Life Christian Camp logo is shown. We also use PayPal using the email address newlifechristiancamp@outlook.com.


If you prefer to mail a check, they can be made out to NLCCA, and sent to 11257 Old Macomb Road, Rushville, IL 62681.
