It was another busy day at camp as some of our volunteer service crew started the next phase of our campsite shelters project. Today the posts and beams were set for the new shelter in the Rogue Campsite.

A HUGE thank you to Kent, Justice, Fred and Matthew for their work today getting this next major project off the ground (literally)!

This project is being made possible by the Pacific Power Foundation, Hoover Treated Wood Products, and our awesome volunteers.

FIRE SEASON IS IN EFFECT!

Fire season started last Saturday at Camp Mooney and no open flames are allowed. This includes both campfires and charcoal (such as for BBQs or Dutch Ovens). The use of propane fire pits and stoves is still allowed.

In addition, each group visiting camp should have at least one shovel, one ax, and one gallon of water or a 2.5 pound or larger fire extinguisher.

It was a busy day out at camp yesterday. We had a small group of volunteers who put in over 40 combined hours on a couple of key projects in camp.

A special thanks to our volunteers:

Kent, Justice, Daniel and Fred for completing the footings for our three new picnic shelters and to Mike for loaning his tractor.

Matthew for spraying poison oaks ahead of Rendezvous and spring events.

Levi and Sam for moving two connect boxes into place to help expand storage at camp.

Camp wouldn't be what it is without our volunteers. Considering joining us in two weeks on May 2nd for our next big service day.
