We spent the month of September at Black Lake Bible Camp in Olympia, WA. The camp is completing a new gym/activity building. The plan required a 25-car parking lot and a complex drainage & water retention system.
HighTouch Ministries helped BLBC save over $70,000 on this excavation project. There was an extensive (and expensive) water runoff/retention engineered plan that needed to be installed. It was about a half-acre water retention pond with a 400' drainage channel between the new parking lot and the rentention pond. The drainage channel looked like a half pipe on Mt. Hood, measuring 3 ft. deep and 12 ft. wide and 400 ft. long. This grading and drainage project required few materials, but constituted the bulk of their cost savings.
Black Lake Bible Camp has a board member who is also a surveyor. He graciously donated his services and worked with Darren on several occasions. This gift saved an additional amount of money on the project. We are so blessed to see God's people giving their services and financial resources to vital camping ministries such as Black Lake Bible Camp.
Steve, Ewert, Black Lake's Executive Director, says he will be happy to give a reference of our work to any who inquire. You can contact him through the camp's website at http://www.blacklakebiblecamp.com/
