Black dirt

Cheryl is requesting good to great black dirt for the flower beds at Camp. We also need perennials for those beds.

Super Kids Camp

Wow amazing things are happening at Camp this week. First of all - Praise God, we have over 100 campers. The official total is 101. Kate brought 6 beautiful mirrors for cabins. They are already in use.
The cooks cabin renovation is completed with help from Augusta, Washburn, Pastor Gary, Cheryl, and Don P. - It has been nicknamed the Tahjma Hall. A chandelier with a dimmer in the entrance, it didn't seem right to call it the "Cooks Shanty" anymore.
The Lord has begun a great work last night at the alter with the kids this week. Please continue to pray for the campers, this week, and those to come.

Cook Book Fundraiser

The C.A.T. team is organizing a cookbook fundraiser for Assembly Park Bible Camp. Our goal is to collect recipes from now until September 15, 2009. We are looking for anyone willing to donate recipes for the book.

There are many ways to contribute:

You will be able to pick up a recipe form at camp or email us at apbccatteam@gmail.com. You can add your own recipes online at www.typensave.com - Contributor (you)...Login name is apbccat....password is 8ju8d

We also are looking for anyone that would like to receive a packet in the mail to hand out recipe cards at your church.

The categories we need recipes for are Appetizers and Beverages; Soups and Salads; Vegetables and Side Dishes; Main Dishes; Breads and Rolls; Desserts; Cookie and Candy; This and That (Misc.) - Recipes can be any thing you like to make from simple to complex. For now recipes are limited to two per person but as September approaches we will let you know if we need more.

Our plan is to have it ready to sell in the Spring of 2010. The tentative price will be from $8.50- $10.00 depending on how many recipes we collect. Please let others know this is taking place.

Plants needed

Now is the time of the year to plant. If anyone has perennials to share we will see that they get planted and taken care of. Be sure to consider the climate at Assembly Park Camp is in zone 3.

Last weekend of May 2009

Osceola was at Assembly Park this past weekend to do a Father son retreat. They also helped work on our new obstacle course.

Washburn AG was also there with a large group of workers. They finished the D cabin rooms. They bought with them a boom truck and trimmed and removed dead tree limbs, assembled 20 new bunk beds and helped finish the interior of the cook's cabin.

Also Lois from Hawthorne painted the snack stand.

Spring cleaning 2009

The spring cleaning chores were underway this year. Groups of people worked cleaning cabins, and the kitchen for opening day. Those involved were from Hawthorne, Augusta, Colby, and LaCrosse. The Hawthorne WMS also sewed new curtains for under the counters in the kitchen.

Cook Cabin Renovation

A large project that began at camp this Month was the renovation of the cooks cabin. The District Women's Ministry, Augusta, and the Erickson's made donations to begin an interior remodel of a cabin known as the the "cooks shanty." Work began early in the spring with a gutting of the interior and reestablising of the original interior walls was done by a group from Hawthorne and Augusta. On Memorial Day weekend, camp supporters from Augusta, Abbostford, Mellen, and Merrill worked on painting, insulating, electral rewiring, and firring out the walls for sheet rock.

Camp 2009

The start of the first camp is a little over a month away.
