Dining Hall Project

The Camping and Retreat Ministries Board has approved Camp Jo-Ota to move forward with the construction of a new dining hall. The plan is to split the project into two phases, unless we can raise the necessary funds to complete the project.

The new Dining Hall will have great improvements and will be a wonderful renovation for this beautiful camp. Our hope is that individuals and churches will consider giving time, prayers, and financial support to see this project completed. Thank you for investing in Camp Jo-Ota and future generations.

Barrow Hall was originally built in 1956 and now has a number of issues. As we move forward into the future, we need a year round facility that can be used for many purposes.

The following table compares the current dining hall description and accommodations with our future plans for the new building.
