LOP News – July-August 2025

A significant revitalization effort is underway in Lake Ozark, with the Reese Development Group leading a long-term, community-focused project to breathe new life into the historic Strip.

The project is being driven by residents who live and work in the area. Their goal is to transform The Strip, established in 1931, into a functional and vibrant downtown for the Lake of the Ozarks, capitalizing on its rare walkability and central location. The team is actively addressing long-neglected infrastructure needs, such as public restrooms, sidewalks, trash facilities, and crosswalks which are critical elements for a family-friendly, accessible downtown.

Wonderland Camp serves participants as young as six, and they never “age out”; some campers have returned for 40 consecutive years. Today, 80% of campers are repeat visitors, traveling from 23 states to experience the camp and providing respite for caregivers. In May 2025, Wonderland Camp completed a transformative renovation of Miller Hall, its main dining and activity center.
