THE HISTORY:

For many of Camp's beginning years, the full time staff had access to three different homes on Camp property. For various reasons, two of those homes have needed to come down in the past 30 years, leaving only a 1 bedroom Cape for full-time staff housing.

​

The past two Director's families have filled this small home well. In May of 2024, we welcomed Kevin and Kelli Rogers onto our full-time staff lineup. They are currently living in a small apartment on campus, but will move into the Cape across the street once the new home is built. 

​

THE PLAN:

• Build a 2,000 square foot, 4 bedroom ranch on Camp's property. The new home will be built along Pierson Road, allowing for much better security year round for the main portion of Camp's property.

• The Rogers family will move into the existing home located on Wanamaker Road, across the street from the camp pool.

​

THE PROJECT:

• The Camp Board anticipates the cost, from site work to completion, to be about $450,000.

• Camp Northfield's Board of Directors is unified behind this project. It must be undertaken, for the current and future needs of Camp.

​

THE WORK:

• Work began on the housing site in the fall of 2024. The site was quickly cleared of the thick woods and a new road was built connecting the house site to the top of the hill. 

• The winter months were busy as we pulled permits, secured (and passed!) the perc test, and drew up blueprints.

• Ground was broken in June of 2025. Soon after, work began and has not stopped. Work will continue as the Lord brings the proper volunteers and funds to complete each task. ​​

• We are asking our supporters to join us through these fall and winter months as we host work days. We will share firm dates as we have them, however it is safe to assume there will be a work day every other weekend this fall. 

​

THE PLEA:

• Pray for this need. God can, and will, provide.
