As you can imagine, there are always a few things that need to be done around camp. We've started some new traditions with the Memorial Day Weekend project. Better yet...dream up your own project and let us know when you'd like to get involved.

Service Projects


2011 4th Annual Memorial Day Beautification Work Weekend
This year we had a great group of 28 volunteers to help spruce up the grounds before the camping season begins.

More buckthorn busting, planting, painting, raking...what a difference a weekend makes!

2010 3rd Annual Memorial Day Beautification Work Weekend
Wow...what a difference 3 years makes! The perennial gardens are maturing nicely, and with the help of fellow alums, we're making headway as we attempt to control the buckthorn that's taking over the hill.

Over the course of the 2010 Memorial Day weekend, we had 12 people push up their sleeves and help get camp looking great for the season. We cut Buckthorn, cleared brush, planted flowers, cleaned out gardens, and spruced up the place in so many ways!

Many thanks to: Ted Anderson, Chris & Margie Briskie, Ray & Mark Goodden, Liz McNally, Connie Meek, Mike Murphy, Jenny Porter, Alan Stewart, Pam Riedesel Prestby, Cathie Mairet Treacy, Jay Wall & Family.
