Thanks to Daryl Simmons and Steve Jones for their work on the camp road! This is a much needed repair. They are using special "boxes" filled with rock to help with erosion control.

The new dishwasher - in the process of installation.

Saying good-bye to the old stove!

Saying goodbye to friends from 1976 . . .

2010-03-06T17:59:00.000-08:00

Get your last look at these camp relics..... the new kitchen equipment is being delivered this Monday. Thanks to Don Fitzgerald for dreaming big and for so many supporters who contributed to make this happen. New stove, new dishwasher and warming tables!

None of these appliances were new when they were installed in 1976 - they have served us well.

We've been working on the road. . . .

2010-03-01T17:37:00.001-08:00

The rains of Fall 2009 have ravaged the road below the caretaker's home. Thanks to Daryl Simmons for getting started on these repairs. If you want to help Daryl please email him. His email is daryls56@yahoo.com

Camp Ne-O-Tez Land Acquisition

In 2003, we purchased 10 acres of land behind the Pine Lodge and the Stone Castle, but we have been hoping to acquire more acreage behind Cabins 1 and 3, all the way to Inspiration Point. This would provide a much-needed protective buffer from potential commercial development in this area of Jefferson County.

Last fall, Camp was offered the opportunity to acquire additional land along our eastern property line. On February 19th, we closed on the purchase of 27 acres of land. This property was acquired at a very attractive price, and the funds were provided predominantly by incremental donations, allowing us to forego taking on any debt or using general fund money. What a blessing from the Lord!

While most of our supporters and summer campers and staff have not been aware of the previous property boundaries, we see this land as one more important investment in Camp’s future. May God continue to provide for Ne-O-Tez in incredible ways, as we train our youth to walk with Christ.

One of the richest rewards of Camp Ne-O-tez is friendships that last a lifetime. . here these young ladies from two different parts of the country establish a friendship at Pre-Camp - their Mothers became friends many years ago at Camp Ne-O-Tez and so the legacy continues. .
