Work Weekend 2014

FLATHEAD LAKE UNITED METHODIST CAMP
  
Dear Camp Supporter,

Greetings from Camp!  J    Mark your calendar – May 2nd, 3rd, and 4th - the dates for Work Weekend 2014.  Gather your tools, expertise, and enthusiasm to join us for a weekend of work, fellowship, song, laughter and great food at a place we have all come to love and share --  Flathead Lake United Methodist Camp.

This May the camp needs your help more than ever! The Camp’s big project for spring 2014 has been building a pump house for clean, safe, drinking water and installing pipes underground. The new distribution system will assure clean water that flows to the dining hall, cabins, and bath houses. Come to camp prepared with your shovels, rakes, and seeders to landscape the camp after backhoes have dug trenches for the distribution system. You can also help us lay grass seed and plant trees (larch, ponderosa pine, and deciduous). More outside work includes removing accumulated debris from around cabin foundations and off roofs, burning slash, and cutting fire wood from the hazardous trees we fell in March.

For those of you that prefer to improve the inside of buildings, the camp has multiple cleaning tasks to make the camp ready for the campers. In addition, our cabin’s kitchenware needs sorted and boxed to comply with a Lake County Health Regulation. New this summer, all cabin guests will be issued dishes, pots and pans, and utensils upon check-in for their personal cooking so the camp can assure the kitchenware has been sanitized.

We will be serving dinner Friday evening at 6:00, three meals on Saturday and two meals on Sunday.  In exchange for your hard work and participation, all meals and lodging will be at no charge.  Lodging is on a first come first choice basis – we do not take reservations for this particular weekend. Please come to the dining hall to check in and choose your cabin.

To help us plan for food, please let us know by April 27th  if you will be joining us by either writing to the camp at 21339 Methodist Camp Road, Rollins, MT  59931, or by email at umcamp@montanasky.net or by calling us at 406-844-3483.

We look forward to seeing and working with you as we prepare the camp for another great year of camping experiences for our youth and families.

Blessings,

Karen Davison
