Mailing Address Update

Important announcement:

Beginning June 1, Camp Emmaus no longer has a PO Box in Mt. Morris. Our updated business address and physical location are now the same mailing address which is:

Camp Emmaus
3011 West Camp Rd.
Oregon, IL 61061

This also includes all camper mail and should now be directed to this address if you want to send mail and care packages during your camper's week at camp. 

All mail will be forwarded for 60 days from the PO box to the mailbox at camp. Please update your contacts to reflect this change.

Camp Clean-up Day - 5/30

This coming Saturday 5/30 is our annual Camp Clean-up Day at Emmaus.

This is where our camp community and congregations come together to get the camp looking amazing as we begin our summer camp season. 

The camp will be opened up as early as 8a for those wanting to arrive early and beat the heat. Coffee and donuts will be provided starting at 9a.

Camp will supply all the cleaning supplies but if you have stuff you want to bring as well, please do that. 

Here's the breakdown of congregations who helped last year and the locations they cleaned:

Highland Ave. - Main Lodge Upstairs
Mt. Morris - Dining Hall & Pavilion
Dutchtown - Kitchen
York Center - Pool House
Dixon - Craft Cabin & Dorms
Lanark - Cabins 1-4 & Girls Bathhouse
Polo - Cabins 5-6 & Boys Bathhouse
Freeport - Cabins 7-9

Please contact Randall at the camp to confirm the details.

We look forward to seeing you as we get camp looking spiffy for the upcoming camp season.

New Dishwasher Installed

The camp's new commercial dishwasher was installed today and ran through our first round of dishes! It's a much needed upgrade from what we had and will get many years of use as we serve campers and staff in this blessed dining hall. 

Thank you to each and every one of you who helped us reach this goal!

Memorial Day Family Camp

Memorial Day Family Camp is coming up soon (May 22-25). You can bring a camper or a tent or call the camp to see about reserving a cabin or if you have any questions. Come for the weekend or come for a day trip. It's greatly satisfying!
