Well, we're in full swing with preparations for summer camp. We had the Little Britain Community Baptist Church here on the 13th for their annual church picnic and though the day started out looking a little grey, it turned into a beautiful sunny day and they even braved the pool. Speaking of the pool, it wasn't filling up properly and Larry noticed that when he turned the pump on, there was a specific place that started to get soggy and fill with water, so he got the volunteers digging and they spent all day Monday looking for the leak. We had hoped that it would be right at the edge of the deck and easily fixed so they began their digging right there. Unfortunately, the leak was elsewhere, though they were able to discern which direction to start looking. They had to cut some holes in the pool deck and dig down the six inches to the pipes and determine whether the soil was getting more wet. In the end, three holes were dug and they are pretty sure that they have managed to find the source of the leak and temporarily fix it. This is a project that Larry would like to get done and so he has set up a fund for the pool. It really needs to be completely redone and he estimates that it will cost around $35000 to redo it.
Next week we have a Christian school group coming in for the week. It is a grade eight class and we will be serving their meals and keeping the bathrooms clean for them. Alison and I are still putting the finishing touches on the program for the summer and could use a lot of prayer. We're really excited about the things that we have planned and can hardly wait to get started.
The volunteers are almost finished for the season. They've done so much this winter, redoing the lodge and updating the campfire and motel and many other smaller jobs. The camp looks better and better every year and I would strongly suggest, if you have a chance, you should come and take a look at some point.
Please keep praying for cabin leaders, nurses, and Bible teachers for the summer! Also, check out the spring newsletter:
