WORK WEEKEND FUN!

We had a great work weekend with over 35 people in attendance between Friday and Sunday. Our old dock which was destroyed in winter storms was taken apart to be disposed of properly from a group of men from Port Alberni who worked tirelessly on the project (below):


Other main projects included the painting of Heneage doors and hallways, painting the benches outside, gardening and landscaping in and around Heneage, raking the leaves all over the site, burning the burn pile, painting interiors of cabins, and some upgrades to the Farside building. Thanks so much to all of the people who gave their time and energy into all the different projects around camp this last weekend. It was a fruitful time of fellowship and camp is looking very cared for because of the efforts donated this weekend.

SUMMER APPLICATIONS

February 28th, 2009 is the deadline on job posts and the website. However, if you downloaded the job application form the last page says March 10, 2006 which is obviously the incorrect date. We will continue to accept applications until March 10 just in case there was any confusion about 2006 & 2009. In the meantime, we are shortlisting applicants and will be calling qualified applicants for interviews over March 11 - 13th. If you require an answer sooner than the time period listed, please call us and let us know and we will do what we can to assist you! Thanks for your patience.
