Facilities had to keep pace with increasing program needs. By 1994 the new dining hall was complete except for the kitchen. The third cabin cluster was finished, and staff had moved offices into the present office/ meeting center. Forest Glen had grown to a capacity of 254 beds and was serving 17,400 camper days per year. The following year the old dining hall was remodeled to become the Lodge and food service facilities were completed on the new dining hall.

1996 to 2004 was a period of explosive growth for Forest Glen. During that time the Lord provided funding to build Lakeside Retreat, a full service facility to serve 300 campers. Mid-week programs to serve public and private schools were begun and other programs grew. In September of 2004 the Forest Glen Springs facility near Rosebud, Texas, was purchased. This added 200 beds to Forest Glen’s ministry capacity, bringing the total to 750 campers. We are now busy renovating the Springs camp and replacing our oldest cabins at our Huntsville campus.

Today Forest Glen stands as a testimony to God’s faithfulness and to all who have had a part in its development. This year we will serve 20,000 campers at 3 beautiful campuses. Each camper will be served by caring staff members who work to assure that lives are changed at camp.
