The storms of August 23rd, 2007 were nearly devastating to Camp EB,
Over 375 of you have contributed to camp and the list continues to grow! We are getting second donations from some of you! Scroll down to Look at Some of These Names! The Past, Present and Our Future is Represented. From The Heart - thanks to all of you! Everything is cleaned up and/or fixed! Camp is Beautiful! Come and See It For Yourself. You'll Be Surprised and Happy About Our Efforts Due To Your Generous Donations! Over $133,000 of Alumni, YMCA and Insurance money has already been spent. Work Weekend - Thanks to those that participated: Chris Sallows, Pete Fournier, Wendy & Kelly Cassady, Lowell Amos, Tom Raubolt, Joe Roman, Dave DeFauw, Tina Hochstetter-Jandris, Margo Janiak, Jamie Miller, Joe Ingling, Sally Ward - and from the Black Hawk Nation Indian Guides - Bob Root, John Rooney, Mark Moore, Mike Zofkie and Judd McCarthy. Many many areas were cleaned, trimmed, raked, bagged, leveled, covered, cleared, glued, reset around camp. All the Alumni wish to thank those that chose to spend a weekend helping camp. Camp is looking really good! More Than $225,000 of Damage Done, but progress is being made!
Look - no tree's! Looking at Units 3&4! Update 12-24-07: Things are moving forward. Camp had a wind storm last night and the camp and the entire lake was without power for ONLY 12 hours. The camp looks beautiful! The areas that will soon be cleaned are: around half-way house (that will be dismantled and removed) down to the low road. From Klinger Hall to the Headless Horseman's Bridge, and around the campfire circle out by the Pine Forest. We've spent almost $85,000 in cleanup and still have plans that will take another $107,000 to accomplish. With that being said - we can do it and will do it. When you come to camp the next time - boy will you see a difference - a good difference. Please plan to visit us . . . . . Happy New Year to all. Health, Happiness and Prosperity to everyone. Be well - ed levy
Highropes Course Thanks to MFB Bank, the Detroit Free Press, and the Gould Family (Jim, Bill & Dick), new elements will be installed - come visit the high ropes course for new experiences and new challenges.
Chapel Some of our friends from around the lake (Mike Reidy & Ralph Vogel) volunteered to replace the benches at chapel and they look beautiful. As usual - Pete Fournier has gone out of his way to help camp. Pete has finished the Organ House and it looks beautiful. EVERYONE is helping . . . . either by volunteering or by sending a check. What a wonderful experience watching all those alumni and campers working together for a common goal - making camp a better place for kids in the future. To all - THANK YOU!
