The Mark is almost finished…

May 25th, 2010

Lots of things are happening at camp right now. We have twelve of our first staff members here for the lifeguard training course (which is being taught by Montreat College Professor, Dave Sperry). Program staff are hard at work getting the dust knocked off of offices that have not been used since last August. One of our climbers, Sam Latone, is taking a Wilderness First Aid course. Horses have begun to arrive and are being tended to by Jan. And of course, Robert Sulaski and his crack team of superheroes are at up at the Mark putting the finishing touches on that beautiful new pavilion. Here are some pictures of the progress:

Guys, it is looking good. The weather has been holding off for us, the floor is laid, and as of today the beams are going up! We are all just a little giddy this afternoon. And as you can see from the opening photo, as usual, these guys are cool as cucumbers. Here are some more shots of the progress.

Getting power lines in place.  Sorry soccer!
