Another FANTASTIC Weekend at Camp Smitty …

cheryl — Fri, 16 Sep 2011 14:56:44 +0000

Amsted and Restore-All joined forces for the seventh year the weekend of September 9-11 to put our skills to good use helping with various construction projects for Camp Smitty. We raised and leveled the main office, and replaced it’s deck; we converted a portable to a new rec hall, complete with new windows, door, wood siding, and a deck; we demolished a building that was no longer needed; we interlocked a new patio for a new log building; we painted the basketball court; we planted trees and cleared brush.

Everyone that participated left feeling tired but light of heart. What a fantastic team building event that also gives back to the community.
