Today we welcomed our first group of campers on our new work floats!

As a major infrastructure upgrade, these new floats represent a significant investment in our ministry’s future and in the generations of campers who will experience God’s love, grow in faith, and build Christ-centered community here for years to come.

To everyone who has prayed, given, and followed along on this journey, thank you for helping make this possible! We’re celebrating this exciting milestone and looking forward to all that God has in store for the future of CBS.

After years of planning, months of building, weeks of travel, and plenty of logistics along the way… they’re finally here! ⚓️🌊

Our new work floats have safely arrived in Gallagher’s Cove at Campus by the Sea!

This has been a long and expensive project, made possible by the generosity, prayers, and support of so many who believe in the ministry of CBS. We’re so grateful to finally see years of planning become reality!
