Steps in progress





Volunteers in lunch line

A very large group of volunteers came to help our guys

Any help is welcome!

The most noticeable project in September has been the new steps running through kamp. A group of 45 volunteers from the community worked on new paths from cabins to ramadas and bath houses. There will be lighting added to the paths in the future.

The next phases for the staff cabin will be insulation and drywall.

The lodge now has new windows, exterior doors and siding. Rough plumbing is complete and the kitchen roof is projected to be finished by the end of September. HVAC and electricity should be complete by mid-October.

The bath houses have new windows, exterior doors, electrical and interior framing. They are ready for siding, which is planned for October.
