CYO/Camp Howard…New Website
We have been working very hard on not only a new website but also a new registration system for CYO/Camp Howard. As we try to get all the bugs worked out I know it can be a little frustrating but hang in there folks, it is going to be a great system when we get through the newness of it. Special thanks to all who have been working hard to get things in place.
What Did YOU do on Presidents Day? Here’s What I Did…..
Isn’t it a blessing when you truly have a day off? I went over and picked up my Mom and we went for a drive. We went to Camp Howard to visit Karen and see what was happening at the camp. She went with us on a tour around the camp and showed us what was happening. The pictures tell the story!
Going down the road to Camp Howard. Notice how clean the edge of the road is!
Larry was removing alder from the Douglas Fir plantation. Nice job, Larry!
Karen von Borstel Talking about her plans for what is happening in Champions Hall and around the camp.
Everything is getting a fresh coat of paint, new wainscoting, lights, etc.
A Unit is a group of cabins. This is Aldergrove Unit freshly re-roofed!
Outdoor School hired a person to teach branch art several years ago at Camp Howard. Still standing – I really like it.
