A PLACE TO CALL HOME
At the end of summer camp 2018, with 72 campers on a waiting list and multiple organizations requesting a week of camp for their guests, the decision was made to purchase a permanent home for Camp Conquest.
When completed, Camp Conquest is designed to be the first fully ADA (American with Disabilities Act) Compliant Facility of its kind in West TN.
​
Below are our plans for the future.

Phase II
This phase is all about expanding our dining hall, creating more paved paths to get around camp, and adding in landscaping to make camp truly shine.

Phase I
Our first goal is to make our new home fully operational, as well as filled with all the basic activities that make camp so much fun! This includes items like upgrading our septic system, building a pool and zipline, and most importantly, making every inch of camp accessible and ADA compliant for our guests.

Phase III
Camp continues to grow year by year, and with a new, permanent home, we expect that even more! This phase includes building new cabins, adding more fun activities, and making infrastructure improvements.
