Camp Gray Spring Work Day

By: Chris Aderhold
Assistant Director

This past Saturday, in an effort to spruce up the grounds at Camp Gray, we held our annual spring work day. The spring work day has been a tradition at Camp Gray for many years, and we're always humbled by the amazing turnout - even during inclement weather.

Heavy rain didn't deter us, as the crew of 60+ started the day deep cleaning our summer camp cabins, the Pav and Helen Hall. Sara headed up a tremendous effort of organizing the Arts and Crafts room, as well. The rain halted enough during late morning to allow us to start some much needed raking. Thankfully, a delicious mid-morning muffin snack kept us working hard all the way to lunch.

After a scrumptious lunch of pulled pork, baked beans, and salad - graciously prepared by our co-head cooks, Pat & Mo-T - we were able to get back outside to finish our outdoor projects. In addition to the dozens of truck loads of leaves that were raked up around our main camp area, the crew also did some repair work on the rope swing dock at Lake Jake, and a massive wood pile reshuffle took place over by the maintenance shed.

On the whole, it was a great day, and we're thankful to everyone who braved the cold and rainy weather in an act of service. We couldn't do it without you!

Without the leaf stomping of these two volunteers, we'd still be raking the main camp area!

The final project of the day: The Ampitheatre Rake-a-thon.

Thanks to the crew from St. Ann's Parish in Stoughton!
