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.
