July 30 2011


A view from future amphitheater 

Again this weekend we had 22 people including cooks. A few tasks were filled but many more remain. Thank you to all who have been able to help at Kamp.



Worked on and completed:
  • The steps from the Outdoor Amphitheater to the Main Lodge started.
    (50% complete) 
  • Drilling and rebar was completed on the girls side, additional steps will need to be completed on both the girls and boys side.

  • Burned one pile of brush on the boys side.

  • Work continued on the girls side drain field with finishing sand base, pipes and pads. The girls side drain field needs to be backfilled, unable to backfill due to a flat tire on the tractor.

  • Started the keystone block retaining wall on the East side of the Main Lodge. (80% complete)

  • Boys and girls sauna roofs were dried in.

  • Demolition was completed of the old building that the water filtration equipment will be placed in.   To be completed: There are 4 summer working weekends left.  We have a need for many workers for each weekend for the rest of the summer.

    

    See "To Do List" at right

    

    There are hundreds and hundreds of estimated man hours remaining to complete our summer goals.  We would like to remind everyone to help by coming up to Kamp Kipa so we can be ready to hold our first camp this fall.
