At Heartland Camps and Retreat Center, our Aquatic Center is a centerpiece of summer fun, providing campers and guests a cool, refreshing escape from the Missouri heat. Whether it's learning new skills, building friendships, or engaging in faith-based activities, the pools play a vital role in the Heartland experience.

After 13 years, it’s time to expand this special program space.

The Projects: Deck Expansion & Meeting Space

Build eight new changing rooms and add a 30’x60’ covered deck to provide a welcomed shaded gathering space for groups to meet before/after swim time and also for small group time.
Renovate the former pool house into a year-round meeting space for up to 40 people, complete with a restroom, kitchenette, and audio-visual equipment

This two-year capital campaign will bring our original vision for the Aquatic Center to life—enhancing the experience for future generations of campers and retreat guests.

Will you join us in making this vision a reality?

Every donation, big or small, brings us closer to creating a safe, fun, and welcoming space for all who visit Heartland.
