40 Days of Vision

A Generational Moment

Over these next 40 Days of Vision, we’re standing on holy ground—because we’re not just talking about dreams anymore. We’re walking through them.

Four brand-new cabins are already filled with life, laughter, and stories. Four more cabins are nearly complete. A beautiful new lake now reflects God’s goodness—and yes, it’s even stocked with fish. God has been faithful every step of the way. Now, the vision is calling us to take the next—and biggest—step yet.

It’s time to build the Dining Lodge. This Lodge isn’t just a building. It’s where campers will gather. Where meals will be shared. Where conversations will turn into friendships. Where faith will be strengthened. Where generations will encounter God together. To begin construction, we need to raise $500,000. That’s the challenge. And this is our moment.

Between now and Giving Sunday, June 21st, we’re asking every family, every individual, and every heart connected to this vision to pray, listen, and step forward in faith. Some will give generously. Some will give sacrificially. All of us can give obediently. Imagine standing at the dedication of the Dining Lodge one day and being able to say, “I helped build this. I was part of that miracle.” Let’s not slow down now. Let’s not settle for almost. Let’s finish strong.

During these 40 Days of Vision, ask God what your part is—and then step out in faith. Together, let’s break ground. Together, let’s build a Lodge that will serve campers, families, and the Kingdom for generations to come.

Giving Sunday is June 21st. The vision is clear. The need is real. And the time is now. Let’s build it—together.

Current Expansion: Lodge-style Dining Facility

The next phase that we believe God is asking us to pursue includes a state-of-the-art lodge-style dining facility. This facility will enhance the opportunities and desirability for the camp to be host events for various groups, creating an all-inclusive camping and event experience. This facility can set HHRC apart from other camps in the area, making it a sought-after destination for many events and experiences.

Help Us Build a Legacy Together

Every gift makes a difference in our expansion journey. Join us in creating a welcoming space for generations to come.

Lake: Completed

Our Lake will provide a multitude of opportunities and experiences for campers. It will feature a beach for swimming, fishing, water recreation, sports and outdoor education, The tranquility of a sunrise or sunset over the water will be a great place to encounter God in His creation and afford opportunities to reflect on His Word and hear His voice. The lake will be centrally located near the stream and easily viewed from the dining facility.

New Cabins: Completed

In April 2025 we completed 4 lodge­-style cabins and a shower house adding accommodations for about 80 more campers. We also began construction on 4 more cabins and another shower house to double the number of campers. These cabins provide a rustic, yet comfortable camping experience.

More to Come!

Adventure Course

Our Adventure Course will offer a unique blend of physical challenge, personal growth, and team-building opportunities for groups and individuals. Adventure courses foster trust, communication, and resilience, and provide opportunities to confront our limitations and grow in ways we never thought possible. It will be constructed above and near the lake and will include a zip line that connects to the lake.

Future Expansion

We believe that to complete our vision of a world­-class camp, there is much more to come. Our master plan includes 4 stunning lodges which each include a meeting space and kitchen to accommodate another 200 campers. More activities like horseback trail rides, paintball, go-kart track, tubing hill, archery, and a shooting range. Add to these miles of trails to explore, an amphitheater, and outdoor chapels and we are getting close to the vision God has entrusted to us. 

 

Giving Celebration Sunday, June 21st​!

We invite you to join us in a special season of generosity as we step into the 40 Days of Vision at Hocking Hills Retreat Center.

Our goal is to raise $500,000 in the next 40 days toward the completion of the new Dining Hall and Amphitheater – a vital space that will serve campers, churches, families, the community and ministries for generations to come.

Would you prayerfully consider joining us as we build a place where lives are transformed, faith is strengthened, and the next generation encounters God?
