| Camping - Camp Pahatsi Work Project |
Posted Feb. 5, 2008 |
Camp Pahatsi
Unit Site Rental / Work Project 2008
Since camp Pahatsi’s closure in 2002, many Scouting families and units have never experienced the great outdoors at this Boy Scout facility. We would like to invite you to visit us at camp. We are taking reservations for families, and Scouting units to use camp in exchange for service work hours.
In preparation of the reopening of camp Pahatsi, work NEEDS to be done to remove fallen trees, restore electrical needs, repair the water system, and conduct normal maintenance.
Please help us by donating your unit’s time to help us maintain, rebuild and improve your camp in lieu of a rental fee. The dates are published below. Please select a project from the attached list that is appropriate for your unit’s size and its abilities. Please arrange for needed tools and material for the project. As a rule of thumb, please set aside 2-3 hours per day reserved to be used for camp projects. Please contact the campmaster listed below for specific questions or special requests.
Let’s all pitch in to make OUR camp usable and beautiful for everyone!
