Since 1978, it has made its home on 500 acres along White Lake in Live Oak. Generations have worshipped in Mandi’s Chapel, sung around campfires, led retreats and found their faith deepened there. Today, Camp Weed hosts worship, outreach and Christian formation all year round. Florida’s sun and storms are hard on buildings, so Camp Weed is in a critical repair and replacement phase. The full estimated cost is about $4 million. Thanks to generous giving to date, $2.2 million has been raised.
