Project Updates – April 2010
April 5, 2010
We have several projects currently underway at the Camp:
- Construction continues on the parking pad and sidewalks for the ADA restroom being put in at The Pines. This is the final part of the ADA project we started last spring for the Special Friends Camps that included the purchase of a special trailer-mounted ADA mobile restroom.
