 1947 - 1949

During these years the camp board continued to develop the Riverside camp grounds, acquiring slab lumber and tarps to make cabins, digging a well, and so on. In 1948 Mr. Aspin's garage was moved from Warrensville to be used as a tabernacle - dinning room. A kitchen was added to one end and a wing sections along the sides for extra room.

In those days the camp fee was a meager $3.75. The ladies of the area continued to can fruit and vegetables for camp and helped supply chickens and so on.

It must have been a bad year for weather for it was in 1949 that the camp itself broke up mid-week because of the rain and leaking roofs.

1950 - 1953

During these years the camp progressed in several significant ways. A charter membership was formed, utensils for the camp were sought; one source was surplus supplies from the Alaska Highway camp south of Fort St. John. The camp also held its first young people's camp the summer of 1951. Camp fee at this time was $5.00. and expansion at the grounds involved procuring lumber and cement to put up a 32 X 66 tabernacle for meetings.
