Always work to be done...

Here's Scott working on the roof of the boys' dorm and the camp laundry room siding with other volunteer workers.

I worked with Effie Leitch to decorate the tabernacle for a Valentine's Banquet. At the banquet, Sadie served homemade pie!

Work continues on the new conference room

Scott and Val are working on the roof of the new conference room at Scottsville Camp.


Also working on the project are Phillip Bough and Bill.

Scottsville Camp - Texas

The entrance to Scottsville Camp, just East of Marshall, Texas. This part of Texas is called the Piney Woods. The camp has been here since the late 1800's.

One project Scott has been working on is the construction of a new conference building.

Sadie and Emma and I get to help in the kitchen. It is a lot of fun to work in a large kitchen with ample storage and work space (anything is big compared to our motorhome kitchen!!) Next to me is Brenda Harwick, the camp's chef/cook. On the far left is Patricia McBride who works in the camp kitchen when Brenda needs additional staff. Patricia owns a neat consignment shop called Jubilee in Marshall. She brings her daughter Hope out to camp for our History class, then she teaches creative writing to all 5 girls.

One of Scott's favorite jobs is operating machinery!!! Here he is digging a trench for electric lines to be connected in camp's new laundry room.
The bookstore roof was leaking - so Scott is on the ladder figuring out what it will take to fix it.


Inside the bookstore, Scott is working with Carl Rice and Phillip Bough (not pictured) on repairing damaged walls and ceiling so the bookstore can re-open.

One evening, the camp treated the staff and volunteers to a fabulous meal at Catfish Village. We had a great time - good food, neat decor, and fellowship together. Dan Hamiter, interim manager, makes sure that volunteers are well-taken care of while we're at Scottsville. He and wife Donna are the 2nd couple from the right in the picture below.
