Greetings HVC!
It’s a cloudy day in the Valley but we’re busy busy busy!! Lots of work projects are underway and our amazing crew of staff are starting to get the place ready for Staff Training to commence in just over a week. So follow along, we’ve got lots to see!
First stop, Meg’s Planet! After some renovations this spring (new raised beds and a fence repairs, yippee!), our grounds crew has planted the first veggies. Meg and Nellie are excited to for summer afternoons in this special spot.
. .
Next up, let’s check in on the rest of our animal crew–the bunnies have returned to HVC from their winter home and the horse barn’s first residents–horse Zion and mini donkey Jack, recently moved in.
. 
And, our baby ducklings are here! So precious and tiny, they can’t wait to meet you all!
And here are a few glimpses of our mighty crew! They’ve been hard at work repairing fences, mowing lawns and preparing the horse barn.
Off they go!
And at the lake (funner!), Al and the crew assembled the brand new boating dock.
Floating out the floating docks!
After all that work, staff took time to relax with s’mores at the top of Tipi Hill and enjoy the sunset! The new fire-pit overlooks the Valley and has lots of space for outdoor cooking. The perfect spot to spend a summer evening!
Whew, that was quite a tour! The excitement is building all across camp–summer is really here! Check back soon for more sights and scenes, and a full report on more of our returning counselors, who arrive this weekend!
Cheers,
Woody the Woodpecker
