Huge shout out and thanks to Abraham Kelly of Trail Life USA troop Tx-0619 for selecting us (Camp Monakiwa) as his Freedom Service Project. He heard about Camp & the fire that burned it down from a younger trailmen (Fox/Hawk ranking) whose practically grown up at Monakiwa. Abraham saw how much it meant to the little guy as well as his family and decided to reach out and see what could be done to help revive camp. Together with his trail mates he is constructing 6 bunk beds (12 beds total) for our lone surviving cabin of Buzzards and a Gaga ball pit for our younger campers/workers/volunteers to use and enjoy during the reconstruction of camp and onward. For those who aren’t familiar with trail life the Freedom award Abraham is working toward is equivalent to Boy Scouts Eagle & Campfire’s WOHELO awards. This is the highest honor he can achieve within the troop & he is doing a fantastic job! They didn’t even let a snow day & freezing cold day keep them from getting work done.
