The Salvation Army of Northern New England recently hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the new Sebago Hall at The Salvation Army’s Camp Sebago in Standish. The 7,600-square-foot hall will be twice as big as the former hall, seen in background, and have seating for up to 350 people, a flexible floor plan to accommodate a variety of camp activities and meetings, state-of-the-art audio-visual capabilities, and a 840-square-foot classroom and a 609-square-foot stage plus a green room and costume and prop storage areas.
