MOUNT LULU BASE CAMP

The Lodge (pictured above) will be the heart of our missions Base Camp. Once located in downtown Fairbanks, the structure was rescued following the flood of 1967 and moved to near the summit of Mt. Lulu Fairbanks, where it is today. Mount Lulu Base Camp is five acres of peace and tranquility situated at the edge of tens of thousands of acres of public land, but only a 20 minute drive on paved roads from Fairbanks. 

Mount Lulu Base Camp will feature the Lodge, several sleeping cabins and camp sites, a bonfire ring, outdoor fellowship amphitheater, walking trails, and a 30+ mile view across the mountains. Once completed, we expect the base camp to be able to accommodate 25-30 missionaries, and expansions are planned to increase our capacity. Laundry facilities, showers, and a large kitchen will make this an all-inclusive stop so that extra expenses and trips into town can be avoided. At nearly 1,500 feet elevation above Fairbanks, the mountainside at Mount Lulu Base Camp receives lots of sunlight year around and sits in much warmer air above the Tanana Valley inversion layer in the winter months.

Once completed, the Base Camp will provide a place for visiting missions teams to stay on their way to and from remote parts of Alaska. It will also be a place for those who serve full-time in these rural communities to stay while they receive medical care, pick up supplies, or seek God's rest on the mountaintop with their families.
