Cabins
Camp Sertoma contains five cabins with a total of 50 beds. The first
four cabins were built in 1979 with $160,000 of funding by the Sertoma
clubs of South Carolina. The
fifth cabin was dedicated on April 1, 2000. This last
facility was a project of the Downtown Sertoma Club of Greenville with
additional support coming from across the state through local Sertoma
chapters. Each cabin is arranged with 10 beds, 8 for campers and 2 for
staff. Cabins also contain dressers, game tables, open space, and
bathrooms. All cabins are well ventilated for summer camp and heated
for off-season use.
Kresge Hall
Kresge Hall, with a 228-person seating capacity, is furnished for
complete food service. Modern kitchen facilities allow us to meet any
food service need. The facility is heated and air-conditioned, contains
a beautiful rustic native stone fireplace, and provides excellent
accommodations for the campers' meals and other indoor activities.
Kresge is often the site of District Leadership Conferences, Awards
Banquets, and other Sertoma functions. During cool months, ample wood
is provided for the fireplace. A beautiful view of Lake Hartwell is
afforded from the dining area. An adjacent patio provides additional
space for socials, outdoor dining, or small group meetings.
Swimming Pool
South Carolina Sertomans raised close to $150,000.00 during "Project
Splash" to build this DHEC approved, fully handicapped accessible pool
and bath house. Campers now have a clean and safe place to enjoy the
water and learn new skills.
Picnic Shelter
The 20' x 60' covered shelter can be used for picnics, catered meals,
or cookouts. Adjacent to the chapel and amphitheater (Cannon Chapel),
the shelter is equipped with lights, water, and a large grill. The
shelter will accommodate 100 people, and an additional 300 can be
seated in the amphitheater complex. Rest room facilities are located in
nearby cabins.
Cannon Chapel
Cannon Chapel is a beautiful facility for worship services and
weddings. It is named in honor of the late Suzanne Cannon, a former
Jaycee Camp Hope camper, from Spartanburg, South Carolina.
Conference Room
The carpeted room can be used for light food service, meetings, or
approved program activities. It can accommodate up to 48 people with
tables or 68 people without tables. Conference style furniture is
provided. The building is heated and air-conditioned and contains two
restrooms. A permanent movie screen is located in the facility, and
arrangements can be made to provide audio-visual equipment. The
conference room is a three-minute walk from the main dining room.
Eagles Nest
Eagles Nest is a large open air (screened) tree house built high up on
a hill among the oaks and pines that cover the grounds of the Outdoor
Laboratory. Campers can enjoy cook outs or overnight camp outs.
Lake Hartwell
Campers learn to fish, canoe, sail, and explore the lake on one of the
two pontoon power boats. Some of the kids camp out one night on a
nearby island.
Outdoor Ventures Program
The Outdoor Ventures Program can help campers learn to accept and meet
life's challenges. Kids are guided through a series of outdoor
adventure and challenge activities, progressing from simple exercises
to complex problem-solving tasks. By working with others to solve these
problems, they gain an increase in personal confidence and
self-awareness, discover new abilities, and develop communication
skills.

High
Ropes Course: a confidence-building obstacle course above the
forest floor. As the campers conquer this physical and mental challenge
with the help of your support group, you'll discover the strength of
cooperation and communication. |

Low
Ropes Course: a lower-intensity obstacle course located four to
eight feet above the ground. Also used to build group trust, the low
ropes course allows a suitable challenge for those not ready or able to
attempt the high ropes course. |

Group
Initiatives: a variety of problem-solving activities
accomplished through group participation and cooperation. Campers
explore different aspects of team building, leadership styles, and
trust relationships as they increase their communication skills. |
