On Wednesday I spent the morning and afternoon volunteering at the Girl Scout camp near my apartment to help the camp become prepared for the up-and-coming summer programs. I went with over a hundred other people from work. We teamed up and painted, cleaned, cleared brush, felled dead trees, filled potholes, dug fire pits, planted, moved fire wood, and made gravel landings for eight cabins.

All in all, volunteering at this camp brought on a tremendous feeling of accomplishment. It felt great to be a part of a group of hard-working people who completed in one day what a single person would have taken 22 weeks to do. An estimated 1200 girls will be able to learn and grow on this gorgeous property this summer. :-)

Stay classy, fellow bloggers.
