Camp R.E.I.G.N. Work Project: Archery Pavilion
O n March 30th of 2025 nearly 20 volunteers, both men and women, gathered together at the Lone Star Camp in Athens, Texas to build a new archery range. Even though the weather on the first half of the day was rainy, spirits were not dampened. Three crews worked to cut main support posts, de- termine where they were to be placed, and finally to mount them in position. Then, trusses were lifted into place and bolted into position. While this was happening, others were running lumber through the planer in preparation for the roof. Everyone took a break for a fantastic lunch and des- sert, which was prepared and served by several of the ladies.
By the end of the first day the main structure was up, as well as part of the roof decking. Several of the volunteers were able to return in the following days in order to com- plete all the woodwork. The entire structure was then coated with a UV blocking sealant in order to ensure its beauty and integrity for years to come. The result is a beautiful 976-square-foot timber framed archery range with 16 shooting lanes and a seating area for an entire group waiting to shoot. When God’s people work together in unity, it is amazing what can be accomplished!
