Wish List

We have many exciting things going on at Big Sandy Camp! God is at work and we are watching to see what He has in store for us in the days ahead. We have got a few things on our wish list that we are hoping to purchase as the funding comes in. If there is something on this list that you are interested in donating to the ministry, or if you know someone who would be interested, please let us know so that we can work together to continue to improve Big Sandy Camp!

Our Current Wish List

  • Forestry mulcher attachment
  • Low ropes expansion
  • 12 or 15 passenger van
  • Enclosed trailer
  • 12 chapel microphones
  • 4 stand-up paddle boards and paddles
  • Polaris Ranger 1000 XP
  • Deck boat (or equivalent) to pull tubers; 12-14 person capacity

God has been providing for Big Sandy Camp in some incredible ways for many years. In the past few years He has been working through our ‘Wish List’. As we have let our camp family know of needs at camp, you have responded beyond our imaginations!

In 2015 because of our “Wish List” campaign we were able to make significant upgrades to our kitchen. The process of cooking and serving food at camp is now safer and faster because of supporters like you!

In the past two years, through our wish list we have:

  • ATVPurchased a used skid steer
  • Received a brand new Polaris Ranger
  • Upgraded the Camp dishwasher
  • Replaced a furnace in Oak Lodge
  • Replaced kitchen racks and shelving
  • Purchased a new industrial griddle
  • Received new camera gear
  • Added new stainless steel tables in the kitchen
  • Obtained maintenance equipment including power tools
  • Replaced our old (1950’s) convection oven
  • Added more Broomball equipment

Sometimes it’s about people stepping up with the funding, other times it’s about knowing someone who is looking for ways to bless a vibrant ministry like BSC. Whether you are partially funding a project or purchasing an item in full for camp, it is greatly appreciated!

To those that have been helping us out, thank you!
