The last day of camp is traditionally a day to party. We had a cookout with hot dogs and fried chicken, and then - we worked!
Kevin Murray and veteran camper Ben H lead a crew that got the shed doors hung.
While that was happening, Justice, Logan, and Jacob took the initiative to lead the rest of the gang in cleaning out the brick shed! It was so impressive to see our guys don their gloves and masks and start a project on their own. They gave directions, found a set of hurdles, cleared the tires, and sent old rotten foam pads to the dumpster. They went into the musty, dusty shed.and whipped it into shape, even borrowing brooms from school and sweeping the floor. Impressive!
Kate Csizmadia, owner of GEG Painting, returned to help the campers paint the newly-hung doors. She's such a good sport that she ran the grill for the cookout while the doors were put in place!
At about 3:00, parents and friends arrived to watch our campers get their certificates, their commitment credit rewards, and ACI pins. There were thanks and applause all around. What an amazing experience! Not many young people have built the legacy that our campers have. We're so proud!
