Thanks to the generosity of the Stephen S. Ball estate, The Salvation Army’s Camp Del Oro has a new Conference Center, completed in the summer of 2018. The Center features a gymnasium/multipurpose room and three lodges with 13 rooms apiece. It will help to offset the costs of providing summer camp experiences to children from low-income families by allowing the camp to generate income from businesses and church groups.
The new Conference Center at Camp Del Oro is a testament to the generosity of the Stephen S. Ball estate. When finished in the summer of 2018, it provided a new and unique income-generating opportunity for The Salvation Army. With a gymnasium/multipurpose room and three lodges with 13 rooms each, the Center enables the camp to host businesses and church groups, which in turn helps offset the cost of providing summer camp experiences to children from low-income families.
Salvation Army camps serve the total personal and spiritual needs of campers through a creative, healthful experience in an outdoor setting. Our goal is that every child walks away knowing and loving Christ a little more than they did before they came to camp. The spiritual aspect is expressed as an integral part of all activities, becoming a part of the total environment and atmosphere. The spiritual emphasis and the positive environment are at the heart of what we do.
