Current Project
Intern Housing Remodel
Our current Intern Housing was built in 1975 and was originally used as the Camp Manager’s Residence. It’s a residential building built for a family of 4 which now accommodates 21 Summer Interns.
In the past 50 years it has seen little improvement, so a remodel is well overdue. Our main goal is to refresh the common spaces and to improve the ratios of sinks, toilets, and showers per person.
Camp Development Principles
After construction is complete, Young Life camps are financially self-sufficient. All operational expenses, maintenance, administrative costs and funded depreciation are paid from camp revenue generated by the camper fee. Only major capital projects require fundraising after the initial purchase or construction. We only grow as thoughtful and generous gifts allow.
Young Life camps have a long-standing policy to first raise the funds and then to develop new projects, facilities, and amenities. This is so the camp fee that summer and school season guests pay is minimized to reflect true operating costs. This practice also allows us to develop new projects to a standard of excellence.
If you are interested in further information or to make a contribution to the development of Saranac Village please contact our Camp Manager at 518-891-3010.
