Street Sweep Keeps Camps Roads Clean
It sure does...It attaches to the skid steer and here's some photos of what it looks like.

It even gets the curb...
Summer Camp Staff Enlarge Horse Corral
It took summer camp staff a little over two weeks to tear out and rebuild a larger horse corral. At 30% larger, the new horse corral also includes built in benches. Photos are below.

CW Staff Build New Horse Paddocks
True, it's old news...but it's still awesome. Started at the last work party, the new horse paddocks were finished literally as horses arrived for summer camp. The 10 year round staff put in extra long days to finish out and ended up with a project they could be proud of. The new paddocks provide a more organized layout and safer environment for the horse. Photos below.
New layout makes it easy to feed & water horses with one pass.
Wide isles make it easy for horses to enter & exit stalls.

Main Entrance Gets A Face Lift
Camp Wawona is going green...literally. Thanks to a generous donation, CW's entrance went from dirt to grass. Volunteers worked in conjunction with maintenance director Jerrod Gabel to lay pipe and install sod in front of old town and white oak. The result is a totally new face to the entrance of camp. Photos are below.

Camp Wawona Office Renovation Complete
Camp Wawona Staff put the final touches on the newly renovated offices this week. The project, which nearly doubled old office space by removing a wall and refinishing the adjacent storage room, began during this year's work party. Volunteers spent hours measuring, cutting, and nailing, finishing most of the work in only four days. Camp staff picked up the torch and continued by laying down new carpet, painting, and installing new light fixtures. The new office provides enough room for all of the year round staff to have a desk with a phone and internet. Staff wish to thank all those who donated time and money to make the office renovation possible!

Camp Wawona Road Repaired
Camp Wawona has a long and rich history. Unfortunately, it’s road has experienced much of it, making the trip up the hill an exercise in maneuvering through a maze of potholes. That is until last week.
Employees of Toasted Asphalt worked for several days patching potholes from the entrance all the way up to horse corral. The road was then covered with a special sealant to hold the patchwork in place, also giving it a black finish.
The lodge parking lot also received an upgrade with a layer of special gravel that packs tighter and a layer of white gravel on top.
While still bumpy in areas, the road is now much smoother and safer for the traffic it services, giving it many more years of rich history to experience.
