CAMP HARDTNER NEWS  JUNE 2009

SUMMER IS HERE- The counselors have arrived and completed training. The pool is full and looking good. The grounds are green and groomed. The Kitchen smells GREAT. The Camper’s lounge is set up. The Pav is ready. Music is playing. It must be summer! Enrollment continues to run ahead of last year. But it is not too late to enroll for some of the sessions. Call the office for details because some sessions may have waiting lists. We are looking forward to a wonderful Spirit filled summer. Thank you to all who make it possible like the Deans, volunteers, nurses, counselors, Summer camp committee, Trustees, donors and parents. We are indeed fortunate to have such a wonderful place as Camp Hardtner.

IMPROVEMENTS- Lots of work has been going on at Hardtner Camp and Conference Center. Most guests will never see much of it but it will certainly be appreciated! Several air conditioner units have been repaired or replaced including the chapel and the kitchen. Fire alarm systems have been updated at Hardtner Central (office, dining hall, kitchen, chapel) and also at the Holy Day Inn/Henton Hall complex. There have been some electrical updates made around camp. Lots of smaller projects including some painting and repairs have been made to spruce things up have been accomplished this spring. There are always lots of projects to be accomplished. Next Fall we will have MIQRA weekend and will be looking for lots of help in accomplishing camp mission projects. Watch for details in August.
