Camp Manitoqua was once again blessed through the time and effort of many volunteers who attended our annual Spring Work Day on Saturday, April 25th. In the course of 3 hours, 149 individuals from families, schools, organizations and churches worked hard on various projects that helped us ready the grounds for our continuing Retreat and Outdoor Ed seasons and the upcoming Summer Camp season. Landscaped beds were cleared of leaves & weeds and were mulched, the grounds were cleared of sticks and branches and were mowed and trimmed, the firewood pits were restocked, sports equipment was set up, shelters and shelter roofs were cleared of leaves and sticks and the picnic tables were unstacked and set up, the Archery, both Playgrounds, Nature’s Playground and the Biathalon Paint Ball areas were groomed, as well as the sand volleyball court and baseball field, the Activity Center was cleaned and organized, painting/staining projects were done, the pool area was cleared of leaves & weeds and was mulched, the areas under the pond bridge were reinforced with large rocks, the cross at Vesper Hill was straightened and secured as well as the map signage in front of the Office, downed trees were chain sawed, some trees and brush in the Strike Zone were cleared and the areas around the obstacles were groomed, a welding project was accomplished and a large mailer was assembled. We are so appreciative of all those who joined us Saturday morning and are continually amazed at how much gets accomplished when we join forces with others and serve the Lord together. For all who attended our Spring Work Day, THANK YOU!
