2024 Board of Visitors

PROJECT: Paint the Town!

The 2024 Board of Visitors (BoV) event took place at Camp Mitchell on Saturday, October 5th, 2024. It was a lovely gathering on the mountain to celebrate the generosity of all who support the mission: Camp Mitchell seeks to restore all people to unity with God and each other through work, worship and play.

The Board of Visitors is a group of individuals who commit to giving to Camp Mitchell once per year toward a selected “project”. All donations, small or large, (at any time of year) are appreciated. Over the past 10 years, led by Joanna and Robert Seibert, the group has raised funds for important work like paving the road to camp, rebuilding Newport including the Jackson Chapel, and helping to fund the reopening of camp after the pandemic.

The 2024 BoV project is to “Paint the Town!” The funds raised will be used to repair and paint the exterior of almost every building at Camp Mitchell, thus creating more inviting spaces for guests, and maintaining the facilities that are vital to camp’s mission. The work is estimated to take a full year to complete.

The BoV event on October 5th from 9 am - 2 pm included a silent auction, a fish fry lunch by Chef Michael, activities like camp arts & crafts and forest school for kids, a short presentation about the state of Camp Mitchell, a tour of the newly remodeled Newport building, and worship in the Chapel of the Transfiguration. We are grateful to everyone who attended, all the financial donors, and all of the many volunteers and contributors who made it possible.

To give to the “Paint the Town” project, please contact us, send a check to our PO Box, or give online. Be sure to select the BoV Fund from the dropdown menu or indicate BOV in the memo line of your check.
