Projects

The CRC has the current needs for the following Volunteer Projects. The projects below allow an individual or group to take on a specific project. These are perfect for ministries or eagle scouts. We also have an adopt-a-spot, where individuals, ministries, and families can adopt a flower bed at the CRC. Lastly, if your group ever wants to do a volunteer work day we have a number of projects you could help us with, so just contact us!

Build 23 Chairs for our Lodge Porches: The project includes raising funds to purchase needed supplies, building the chairs to design (cutting wood, sanding, and screwing pieces together), and staining the chairs. 23 chairs would allow us to have 4 chairs in front of each lodge. Currently we have only 9 chairs spread out over our 8 lodges.

Improve Stations of the Cross Bayou Path: The project includes raising funds to purchase needed supplies, cutting down trees, removing brush, grading path to be raise with 2-foot slope on each side of path (to keep path dry), expanding gravel path to be 4-foot wide, and repairing Station Grottos as needed.

Create Stations of the Cross Grotto on Room Side: The project includes raising funds to purchase needed supplies, cutting down trees, removing brush, and building grottos out of stone and cement for each station.
