Asbury Hills to begin construction of aquatic complex

CLEVELAND—Asbury Hills Camp & Retreat Center has the nod to proceed with Phase 1 of their multiphase master plan.

The South Carolina United Methodist Camps & Retreat Board of Directors approved at their most recent meeting the camp’s go-ahead to continue with Phase 1: moving ahead with a new aquatic complex for the Upstate camp.

The aquatic complex includes a new swimming pool, bathhouse, restrooms and courts for basketball and volleyball, with an estimated of cost of approximately $1.5 million.

They hope the new complex will be ready by Summer 2020.

Their approval of the continuation paves the way for the next step in Phase 1, which is the construction of a multipurpose worship center that will be on the spot where the old swimming pool had been. Construction of the worship center has not yet been approved; that will be addressed after this portion of Phase 1 is farther along.

Camps & Retreat has launched a fundraising campaign to secure the funds for the project. For more information, or to inquire about the construction project, call 864-298-0125 or email [email protected].
