Kamp Kipa 2006



Kamp Kipa 2011


We had a very good turnout this Saturday, about 60 people including cooks and kitchen help. Thank you to all who continue to give your time and effort to build a camp.

Worked on and completed this week:

Completed backfill of girl's side drain field

Completed rough grade for the camp storage units

Removed three large trees that needed to be dropped for safety purposes

Cut area from hillside south of the girl's side drainfield to prepare a pad for a basketball court

Girl's sauna and bathhouse roof was worked on

Several crews hauled brush from the cabin areas to burn

Up to 20 guys gathered and placed rock on the hillside west of the lodge

Two chain saw crews cut down logs and brush throughout the camp to movable lengths for burning and removal

Completed interior sheeting and paint in the water treatment room, it is ready for equipment to be installed

The drain lines were finished and tied into the collection box and were backfilled

Installed two septic tanks by the girl's bathroom, they need to be adjusted for height, leveled and backfilled

Five electricians worked throughout the camp. We were able to get a majority of the electrical completed:
Exterior lights on lodge and bathhouse
Kitchen is almost complete
Finished wiring for refrigerator and freezer, both are working as expected

Continued work on the west side retaining wall and extended patio. 8-12 guys worked on this throughout the day making it 80% complete
