As it stands today, God has provided in such a way that camp is financially able to begin construction of the Retreat Center building this summer. Praise the Lord!
And as it stands today, the work is officially set to begin on June 1. From clearing and burning brush, to the buildings being "closed in", the Dining Hall, Kitchen & Lounge, and Bunk House will all be part of Phase I. A "critical path" (see below for details) has been set in place providing a very detailed outline of the day to day work that will be taking place this summer. If construction plans (considering weather, volunteers, materials, etc.) go as scheduled, Phase I will be completed by the end of August.
In case you missed it in the "blog description" portion of this page, if you are wanting to be involved with the project in any way, please contact Steve Dale (email above).
As the work begins, expect to find this blog updated often, pictures included.
Lord, please bless this work and the ministry at UPBC this summer!

These pictures illustrate the work that has already taken place on the retreat center site. Volunteers have worked hard to clear some of the area and from what I understand, they enjoyed a few pasties in the process.
