Work Weekend
April 14th, 2009As most of you know, there’s been a bunch of construction going on here at Crestridge (if you’re not familiar with all of it, then take some time and read some older blogs about the cabins and new Bear Trap). And with all the construction comes many more little details that need to be done before any campers or staff arrive. In order to get things done in time this year , we added another spring work weekend. Around forty people showed up and we had a ton of fun! It was a good mix of former staff, current staff, new staff, alumni and camp friends.
The main thing for the weekend was putting together bunk beds for the new cabins…which the above crew knocked out in no time! Other things that got done were moving furniture into new buildings, clearing out the dining hall completely so the floors can be refinished, raking leaves (always plenty of that needed after the fall and winter), and a few other little things. With the bunk beds assembled the cabins are definitely ready and just waiting to be used now! Check out how the cabins look with beds in them:
Thank you to everyone who came and helped out!
