April "Pre Work Week" Work Week

From May 1-10, we will be up at camp for our official "Volunteer Build Week", where volunteers like yourself will be helping pour foundations, build cabins, build washhouses and outhouses, and much more. (Visit our Work Party Information Page for details!)

Thanks to the mild spring weather we've already had a few productive weekends up at the site. We are grateful to the many people who have volunteered their time, effort, and in some cases even equipment!

With your help, we've been able to dig the footings for all 10 cabins, and the concrete has been poured for the first five. We've dug the pits for our two washhouses (including outhouses) and have begun preparing the existing recreational building for its conversion into a temporary kitchen.

This is all in preparation for the coming weekend, so that when our Work Week volunteers arrive, the site will be ready for several teams to immediately begin building cabins, while another group can complete the remaining cement pouring. Many thanks to the members of our Building Committee for taking on the planning and coordinating, and for all the support we have received from individuals, churches, and schools!

We look forward to seeing you this weekend! Please watch the blog, as well as our Photo Gallery, for updates during these next few exciting weeks!
