Spring Work Weekend was a Huge Success!

Wow! We have some fantastic, dedicated volunteers! This weekend we had 75 enthusiastic volunteers made of up staff alumni, current and past campers, and their families and friends make the trip to Wanakita for our Annual Spring Work Weekend!



They were busy spicing up our site to get ready for the spring; though it doesn't look like the lake got the message that it is SPRINGTIME! There was still some ice floating around out there !


Here's our regular crew of roofers who help keep our cabins in tip top shape! 





We had an energetic group of excited Pathfinder girl guides who helped with raking, cleaning and general site maintenance! 




Here are some brave summer campers and staff that helped to paddle all these boats across the lake still covered with slushy ice! 





We had our regular firewood crew, splitting and stacking wood for campfires and fire places! We even had a group working on making our own wood chips this year!

 This wood pile was split and stacked in two days: its 15 log-lengths deep! Good work everyone! We're all set for spring, summer and fall!

Here are some wood chips from dead/dangerous trees from our forest! We will spread them around camp on trails and our high and low ropes areas.

Thank you so much to everyone who came to help out this past weekend! We appreciate your help more than you know! Without you, our site just wouldn't be ready for our school groups in spring and would probably start falling apart! Thanks a million!
