Work crew to clear branches along the south side of the
Rec Hall to allow more light into the windows of the Rec Hall
Work crew to clear trail along the south shore
Over the years the ice heaves have created a shelf that runs along the south shore from the
dining room to the campground. The shelf is about 4 - 6 feet above the water. We need a crew that is
experienced with chain saws (with a sensitivity to esthetics) to clear a path from the dining room
eastward towards the campgrounds. This crew also needs to be willing to do the hard work of
hauling all the downed trees and brush back down the trail to be hauled away. Eventually
we'd like to build a set of steps back up the bluff in two places - one at the gazebo and
one near the end of the shelf.
Work crews to insulate and drywall the POEM Cabins,
Lodge, Rec Hall, Poem Lounge and Gazebo
We would also need someone who is experienced in drywalling to supervise the work crews.
Update! --- Paul Johnson has been drywalling for 37 years and has said that he will head up the crew!!
We hope to create three season capability. Right now we accept groups into October and would
like to make heating these facilities more cost effective.
A new floor for the POEM lounge
The old floor has been scraped over too many times by the furniture and seen too many
freeze/thaw cycles that have curled and cracked the linoleum tiles.
Work crews to paint the POEM Cabins,
Lodge, Rec Hall, and Gazebo
After we insulate and drywall, of course.
All of our buildings on the west side of the camp
need a new coat of paint
We need good painters and/or adults who will closely supervise
youth that are willing to learn how to paint
Boat House, Gate
House, Annex, Annex Restrooms, Lodge and Well House
A second AED (Automatic External Defibrillator)
***Thank you to Wayzata Community Church UCC for donating the entire $1500 to purchase our second AED***
Contribute to the Table Fund
New round light weight tables for the dining hall with racks for storage
Piano replacement (or repair?) Fund
Update - The electric piano has bit the dust.
Another UPDATE!!
The offerings from the Women's Retreat from
2008 and 2009 was just enough to buy a new
Yamaha Piano Keyboard.
Needs to be portable and built to take some abuse as it's moved around from building to building
New roof on the Lodge
Either donate the volunteer labor (including a certified roofer to oversee the job) or the funds to employ a contractor
Large capacity air compressor
for blowing out our water lines, powering nail guns for roofing the lodge, etc.
Canoe Trailer
for hauling 8 canoes and equipment
Swim area buoys
to enlarge the "No boats" zone around the swim area
We would prefer the type called "channel marker" which last much longer
New (larger) glasses and storage trays
for dining hall (200)
and this (note that the price is for 3 racks) We would need 6 racks
Update - Glasses were purchased for summer of 2009
partially funded by the offering of July Family camp 2008
Zero turning radius mower
5 foot deck
(The old mower has made it through the summer of 2009 but may not last much longer.
The deck has been rebuilt as well as the motor) The sandy soils are hard on the deck and the blades.
Log splitter
We currently rent one as needed but if you have one you're not using...
