Oak Lodging and Mountain Boarding

Another busy (and as you can see, fun) week with Raven 4.  We're finishing up a lot of smaller projects right now, one of them including the maintenance of Oak Lodge, where incoming school, girlscout, and boyscout groups will reside for their camping experience.  We sanded, stained, moved, assembled and bunked beds, and cleaned the overall lodge.  Morale was high Thursday afternoon when we finished our final beds and mopped.  Just a week and a half before, the lodge was filled with graffiti on beds, dirt from our boots, and plenty of powder from all of the sanding we had begun with.  Now the rooms had come together, three beds in each, and the main room was fully cleaned, furniture stained.  The camp groups would arrive in a week and they'll be fully prepared to get the best camp experience possible.

We finished up the week with a treat from the Camp Highroad staff.  The Executive Director prepared some equipment for us and taught the team how to mountain-board.  We had a great time, and it was a nice way to wrap up the week, outside in 70-degree weather, enjoying a bit of an adrenaline rush down the hills.  For most, if not all of us, this was something new, and yet another thing on the list of new experiences we've gotten to try.
