The result is now a 191-acre property located in Kentucky’s Boyle and Mercer Counties with permanent camping facilities necessary for children whose health is compromised. The site includes cabins, a fully-equipped medical clinic, open air pavilions, a dining hall, and additional activity areas including a pool, rock climbing wall, pond for fishing and boating, basketball court, archery, and accessible swinging bridge over the Chaplin River.
