This is our last day of work (and fun) here at Lake Swan Camp. Months always fly by but particularly this month. However, our time is over and tomorrow morning we will point the truck north and head back to Hartford City.
Our final week of work has been a very unique one. Lake Swan Camp has been the destination of our high school youth group of our home church in Upland, Indiana, for Spring Break (leaving the winter behind) for many years. This is our third trip to do a project here but the first time we have actually been here when the UCC youth were here. It has been so much fun seeing the camp being used by them to meet their spiritual needs to just being fun. As in previous years, the youth do a service project (aka work day) for the camp. Yesterday, they joined some of our RVICS members in doing work at the camp. Some of the pictures show them in their work.
At many of the projects, there is always an endless "to do list". The men added repairs and replacement of some of the swings on the playground. A small bathroom was added to the ladies list. Those 2 projects will be finished when we leave. However, there is a large fence to be cleaned etc. The work will be have to be finished by those volunteers to follow us.
Once again, we leave our fingerprints and, in some cases, a little blood behind but thankful for the opportunity to have been with our team members in just helping out.
On one hand, it is very hard to leave but exciting to look to the weeks to come. In our case to see our "kids" and grandkids soon!! In the fall, we will start all over again.
