May 14-16 Work Weekend

Thanks to all the volunteers who came out to the second work weekend in spring 2010! We had a great time and got a lot of work done! The weather was fantastic (no snow, unlike last weekend!) Pictures are worth thousands of words so we'll let them speak for themselves. Here's a summary of what we did over the weekend:

• A completely new deck was built at the entrance to the washhouse.
• All cabins' remaining exterior sheathing were completed.
• Several picnic tables were refurbished.
• Grading was improved around both the boys' and girls' washhouses, including patio stones at the entrances.
• All the cabin and washhouse exteriors were painted to protect them from the elements.
• 4 more cabin floors were painted with floor paint.
• All of the remaining leaders' beds were completed in the girls' cabin area.
• A number of window shutters were produced, assembly-line style. These are being put together into completed, ready-to-hang window shutter assemblies.
• Cabins 1 and 5 were each partially outfitted with completed shutter units, including two prototypes of "swing away" screens that we'll use to access the exterior shutters from inside the cabins. We'll start converting all of the cabin screens to this style.
• Cabin 1 was outfitted with screen assemblies for each window.
• Tree clearing was started in the area where the new quonset hut will be located.

Pictures to follow!

Camp Cherith thanks everyone who came out to help! We look forward to seeing you again in the future!
