Special Projects

Project 1: Cafe Deck Phase 2
Donation Goal: $10,000
Total Estimated Project Cost: $15,000-$25,000.
Recommended donation share: $50-$1,000
Total Funded to date: $0/$15,000
Scope: We will be building a roof covering over the recently repaired deck. This will allow Hartland to increase our outdoor seating capacity regardless of the weather and protect the deck from sun and weather damage for decades to come. Churches utilize outdoor seating areas for break-out sessions and this will help meet that need. The Cafe deck now has seating for 32 guests with our latest table and chair updates.

Project 2: Fire Prevention and Preparedness
Donation Goal: $10,000
Total Estimated Project Cost: $10,000-$20,000
Recommended donation share: $100-$1,000
Total Funded to date: $100/$15,000
Scope: Hartland will be purchasing 2 tractor implements and other materials for use in our fire prevention efforts. We also hope to rent a bulldozer to make some clear line-breaks and restore those breaks made during the last fire risk event. We hope to mitigate fire risks by proactively removing ladder fuels throughout the year. Hartland is dedicated to camper safety and preserving our campus for future ministry. We are currently splitting our 400 acre campus into 8 grids, with a focus on 1 grid per year, tending to all areas of the campus every 8 years.

Project 3: Accessibility Improvements (ongoing)

Total Estimated Project Cost: $10,000-$150,000
Recommended donation share: $150-$2,500
Total Funded to date: $3,125/$150,000
Scope: These improvements include grab bars in certain locations, repairs to stairs or walkways, paving some entry areas which are currently dirt accessible, and other items.
*Since this is an ongoing project, we will list improvements that have occurred with these funds below.
Improvements to-date: Asphalted Oak Lane and parking behind the Gym, the South Parking Lot, and a portion of the North Parking lot, and the Shop yard. Built ramp on one cabin, installing grab bards on 4 new rooms.

Project 4: Camp Wortman Campus Improvements

Total Estimated Project Cost: $15,000-$20,000

The Camp Wortman facility is a rustic, low-cost ministry option for those churches who otherwise could not afford a traditional camp experience.
