A group of concerned parents and 4H volunteers as unpaid volunteers has worked hard to keep this facility available for youth to enjoy a wonderful summer camp experience.
Saturday March 29, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
As you may imagine, the winter has been mild at Camp Loma, but the forest never sleeps, and the forest debris build up is there once again. This weekend we are only going to focus on clearing and cleaning debris.
Here is a short list of the chores we will focus on:
· Sweep the building roofs
· Rake leaves & Remove Rocks from Lawn
· Rake forest debris away from the rental house
· Pick-up Branches throughout Camp Use Areas
· Cut large ends of Branches for Camp Fire Wood
· Sift Sand in Volleyball Court and replace what we can.
Come when you can, you don’t have to spend the day. If you come, here’s what you should bring.
1) Gloves
2) Drinking water or something to stay hydrated.
3) Lunch, if you are staying that long. Snacks are always good.
If you can bring tools, here is a list:
· Rakes of all kinds
· Pitchfork(s)
· Loppers
· Lawn mower with grass catcher.
· Tarps to haul debris (redwood needles etc)
· Wagon, Wheelbarrows, or carts to haul forest debris. (Redwood needles etc)
· Chain saw to cut up downed branches into firewood.
· Utility vehicle with trailer, like a quad or garden tractor to haul debris.
· Chipper to mulch up the small stuff and light branches. (Saves burning)
