Construction began November 1, 2009 on a new meeting facility at Indian Creek Camp.
 

The first step in the construction of the new meeting facility was the removal of the A-frame chapel which had served the needs of the camp and the conference since the early 1960s. However, with the expansion of the dining room and cabins, the size of many groups has been limited because the chapel could not accommodate the larger numbers of people wishing to attend some events at ICC.

 

The new facility will accommodate up to 525 people in a theater-style seating arrangement – more than twice as many as the former chapel. The building can also be divided for multiple groups or break-out sessions using folding partitions and will be equipped with video and sound technology. Construction is scheduled to be completed in time for summer camps in 2010.

 

Constituents voted in 1999 to initiate a reconstruction at ICC to replace the aging buildings. The first phase of the project was the demolition and replacement of the 40-year-old cabins which had been erected in 1959 and were supposed to be temporary. Two years later, the new dining hall and kitchen were the second phase of the project. The new auditorium is the final phase of reconstruction voted by the members of the conference in 1999.
