AV Camp Wishlist

Item Description Est. Cost
Program Center Connect the Old Dining Hall, New Dining Hall, & Gathering Place with an indoor gym, rock wall, all-purpose rooms, etc. Turn the Gathering Place into an Alumni Museum. Unsure
25+ log cabin buildings Install vinyl siding that looks like cedar shakes, and replace all decks with Trex composite material. $17,000 per building
New sound system for Pavilion We would like a permanent sound system in the Pavilion – 4 speakers in the corners in the rafters up high. These will connect to a rack that will be stored in the shed during the summer and moved indoors during the winter, while the speakers will stay outside year round. This will enable us to plug in to the system rather than having to set up portable speakers every day that get bumped and damaged easily. $10,000
Remodel Log Cabin Complete remodel of existing building $27,000
Repave parking lot Our parking lot has lots of cracks and needs to be repaved $35,000
Remodel boys laundry room Replace siding, windows, doors $36,000
Playground Have a playground for children and families $50,000
Repave Track The road around the camp has several cracks and uneven places that need to be repaired and replaced. $50,000
Repave road to sewer plant This road also has several cracks and spots where the road has washed out. $50,000
Intern Housing Build a new facility with housing for interns and full time staff that can be used for summer staff as well $300,000
Expand St. Ignatius chapel Widen the chapel so it is twice as large $1,000,000
Replace swimming pool with a water park Our current swimming pool is over 70 years old and has many maintenance issues. $1,000,000
Expand Lodge Our office is far too small for our needs. We hope to add offices, a chapel, an alumni room, and meeting spaces. $2,000,000
Cemetery Have a cemetery for those who wish to be buried at the Village. This will enable us to teach more about death and the Resurrection and have memorial services for the departed. Unsure
