It’s Sunset Sunday!

We want to say another big thank you to all the artisans that spent the week with us and the Y-Guides that joined us for the weekend. We hope you all enjoyed your time at camp as much as we did.

That’s a wrap!  We had a wonderful week with our artisans. The magic this group creates is truly inspiring.

It’s Sunset Sunday!

The sun is setting earlier and earlier here on the mountain, but we’ve still been plenty busy. Last week we had Derry Area school district join us for some environmental education and then our fall harvest family weekend. This week we we were joined by Well Read Book Club, Wi******er Thurston school families and some dads and daughters from the Y Questors program.

Tomorrow we welcome our fall artisans to camp!

The fundraising is complete, the new building permit has been issued, the old boathouse has been torn down and we start construction on the new boathouse tomorrow! Thank you to all of the volunteers who came out this weekend to remove the old boathouse! If you would like to see all of the pictures from the weekend, please click on the link in the comments.

The beloved DV Boathouse re-build project is very close at hand, and this upcoming project is solely due to the generosity of all of our donors who supported this fundraising campaign! Yesterday, the teardown work started with the removal of all of the memorabilia contained within this long-standing building. It will be saved so that it can be reinstated in the new building, carrying forward all of the traditions and team members names who have spent their summers in this special location. Some of the wood was saved to create some special mementos as well!

This upcoming weekend, we are completing the teardown work so that construction for the new and improved Boathouse can begin. If you are able and willing, we'd love to have you join us for "Boathouse Teardown Weekend." We have limited housing available due to events prior to, during, and after this activity, but we'd love to host some volunteers for the weekend. Lodging and meals will be provided.

You'll need to register for this event at this link, where you'll find more details: https://pittsburgh.recliquecore.com/programs/25000274?locations=34

If you can come for only a single day or can come for both days, your help is appreciated. This activity is a go--rain or shine!

It's time! We turned on the time machine, and today we landed at the Lloyd Sisters with their video/song of "The Marvelous Little Toy!" Who remembers singing this song WITH the hand motions!! This video is estimated to be from 2020! Enjoy!!

Fall Family Fishing Derby had great weather after this morning's fog and drizzle.

We had a smaller crew than at our Spring event, but there are tons of fall events around Somerset County and SW PA!!

Largemouth Bass and Bluegill were hungry!! Largest fish caught was a 13" Bass and the second was a 9" Bluegill.

We capped off the day with a yummy fish dinner!! Thank you for joining us!!
