Mecaila makes candle arrangements for table centerpieces for the Couples Retreat this coming weekend
Judy, Lana, Fran and Mecaila put together name badges for the Couples Retreat.
Uh oh, Jim can't find the pump house
Fran washes out dog and cat food bags for Judy and Lana to sew into tote bags for the gift shop to sell to raise money for camping scholarships. The ladies made 20 bags
Our tasks for this month include: Demo swimming pool storage shed and rebuild from scratch; Build a 20x10 cover for the Carpetball tables from scratch; Build a 20x20 cover for the outdoor BarBQ area. Ladies had a mailing and a construction of tote bags as projects.
All the guys began by Demo work on the old pool house. During that period we had all our team working on the tear down as well as two of the staff men.
Kerry, Bill, and two of the camp staff unload the 20 foot beams for the carpetball cover.
Bill cutting around a box to make a footing for the posts for the carpetball cover. Nice "Jack Hammer" that was quite helpful cutting thru the extremely hard clay soil.
Look real close and see the tiny holes in this pine tree. The local woodpeckers have drilled holes in most of the pine trees around the camp and have placed acorns in each hole. They do this as a temporary storage place for the acorns until the little worms in the acorns get larger and then they open up the acorn and eat the worms.
