Director’s Report

The New Council Fire Circle

The campers have been gone for two weeks but camp has not slowed down at all.  The big story is the replacement of the benches in the council circle.  We have been planning on this upgrade for some time now, but a wedding held at camp this past Saturday — ceremony in the circle — created that  sense of urgency to get the job done by a time certain.  George and Dan were seen shoveling up saw dust late Friday afternoon as the bride and groom plus 180 guests were coming onto the property.  Here are some pix from the past several days here in Paradise.
