Here is the group pic from our last work day. We fed 87 people (and a few mosquitoes) there for the day and really improved the Camp.
Thanks again to all who participate on work days and also all that keep the camp clean, neat and maintained while using the facility. This year has been very good for maintenance!!
(If anyone wants any pic I have in higher resolution, send me a note and I will e-mail it to you.)
