May 15, 2025 6:01 AM So much to share—and so much to be grateful for. A few of us were able to briefly access the Camp House site, and we’re relieved to confirm what we had hoped: all buildings are intact and undamaged. The fire did burn along the western and northern shores of Lake George, and signs of fire are visible across parts of the property. But among the ash, there is life—green buds, alive and well, trees still standing, and the familiar shape of that white pine watching over it all. We don’t yet know all that went into protecting this place, but it’s clear that a major firefighting effort—backburns, fire lines, and tree clearing—helped defend Camp House and our neighbors’ properties. We are wildly grateful. But this is not the end of the story. These fires are still 0% contained, and the work continues. At least 144 structures have been lost across the region, and our prayers are with those whose lives and homes have been forever changed. This is not yet a celebration—it’s a moment of progress. A glimmer of hope. A step toward returning to this place we love and welcoming others for the 100th summer of Camp House. We hold tight to hope. And we keep praying. May 14, 2025 4:01 PM The wildfire situation near Camp House continues to evolve. While the fire has reached areas of our property to the west and east, **no buildings have been affected at this time.** Fire activity remains present in the area, but current wind conditions and the efforts of fire crews are helping to keep structures safe. Overnight, ground crews continued to patrol key roads to prevent the fire from spreading further. Calmer winds and slightly higher humidity were helpful, but today’s conditions remain challenging. The two fires near Brimson are being managed together under a unified incident command— referred to as the Brimson Complex. Additional firefighting support has arrived from outside the state, and the National Guard is assisting. Note: Fire perimeters shown on public maps are approximate and do not reflect structure protection work. A building within a perimeter may not be damaged or destroyed. We expect to know more in the next day and will share updates as we learn them. Please continue to pray for all those responding to and impacted by these fires. May 13, 2025 12:54 PM At this time, no buildings at Camp House have been lost. However, the fire remains active in the area, with several hot spots still burning. It’s now estimated to have grown to over 12,000 acres. Portions of the land on both the west and east sides of our property are believed to have been affected. Today’s forecast—strong winds and low humidity—will continue to make containment difficult. Please keep firefighters, first responders, and our neighbors in your prayers. We also want to clarify that the name Camp House Fire can be confusing. It may sound like the fire began at our Camp House site, but that’s not the case. Wildfires are typically named after nearby landmarks or roads—not their point of origin. This fire shares our name due to proximity, not because it started on our property. In the provided map, it shows the Camp House building site inside of the firezone. Reminder, we don't believe any buildings have been affected as of now.
