Popular Summer Camp Could Be Sold

NANOOSE BAY - The fate of a popular church-run summer camp on the mid-island will be decided this weekend. Over the past sixty years thousands of children have learned about the outdoors at Moorecroft Camp. But those days may never be repeated now that the United Church is considering selling the property.
Moorecroft's sheltered bay has been the heart of summer camp life since children first starting coming here back in the 1930's. A few decades later the sprawling property was sold to the United Church, and has been welcoming school groups and community organizations ever since.

Church leaders are deciding what to do with the camp this weekend at a meeting in Parksville. Several years ago the United Church decided to regionalize its camps, and use the money from the sale of properties like Moorecroft, which has been assessed at about 12-million dollars, to fund the camps it plans to keep.
