We currently have 7 weeks filled with one week open for this coming summer.   We are accepting registrations through 2010 and all the spots for 2010 are currently available.  There are no major construction projects for this year.  We are focusing our finances on purchasing new small boats.  We are tentatively planning on adding two to the fleet for this summer.  Boats we are considering are the Lowe 1648

and the Grizzly 1648 by Tracker.

Both are 16 foot models, 48″ beam at the bottom and 70 or 71 inches at the top with 20″ transoms.  The Tracker has .100″ hull and is all welded where the Lowe has .07″ hull and is only welded on the corners.  Everywhere else is riveted.

For motors we are looking at 9.9 hp 4 stroke Nissan, Johnson or Mercury outboards.  Non electric start 20″ shaft.  Our budget is around $4,000 complete per boat.  Any input would be gladly welcomed.

 

(Two Actually) We didn’t get them complete before the first camp started but by the end of their first day everyone was using the restrooms & new shower. Praise God for this new improvement.

 

One of several projects under consideration for this upcoming summer are a septic tank with leach field and a dual privy. Costs are being estimated to see what our budget will allow. Other projects competing for our limited funds are a motor & outdrive for the bayliner, extending the driveway to decrease the slope, and upgrading our small boats for bay fishing.

The following are some concept sketches for the dual privy. Let us know what you think.
