News at Camp

Today I sat at this computer to do something I have never done before, make a blog. When I get through you may be saying, I can tell. I want to let you all know what's going on over here. Like many of you, before I moved to Maywood I found it easy to lose touch with what's going on over here at the camp during the times that I wasn't at camp. So I wanted a way to keep everybody up to date with what's happening right now and get us all excited for the summer .



We are right in the middle of some major construction. The swimming pool is being almost completely refurbishing, this was a long time coming and has proven to be very expensive but it was badly needed and I think well worth the money that is being put in to it. We also are refurbishing the boy's four way cabin (Sardis, Derbe, Tarsus, and Lystra), if you have lived in that cabin over the past few years then you know, all too well, how badly that was needed. There has also been some concrete work done at the pavillion and the fire ring by the lake.



We've had our camp display set up at the Freed-Hardeman lectureships and at CYC in Gatlinburg over the past few weeks. It was good to see all you Maywood folks there. I'll be set up at Lads to Leaders/Leaderettes in Nashville so if you are there stop and say hello.



Well it won't be long now until the summer sessions start (June 1st) and I can hardley wait. We've already started up with Spring retreats and lots of applications have already come in so there is a lot happening here at Maywood. I'll try to keep you updated every week or two so keep checking back.
