YBC Gets Some Updates
Since the conclusion of the 2023 camp season leading up to the commencement of the 2024 season, the caretaking team at YBC has diligently undertaken significant enhancements across the campgrounds. While a substantial portion of the work pertained to essential plumbing and electrical upgrades, which may not be immediately visible, considerable efforts were also directed towards vital restoration projects for the camp's infrastructure and surroundings.
At the top of the improvement agenda was the successful completion of the beach volleyball court, a feature that was exclusively enjoyed by Sanger Summer Camp in 2023 but became accessible to all camps in the subsequent year. Subsequently, the caretakers focused on the meticulous clearance of brush piles, overgrown vegetation, and debris throughout the camp, resulting in a remarkable transformation evident in the before-and-after comparisons. Future plans include extending this clearing initiative to unexplored areas of the camp to accommodate new activities on the premises.
Following the comprehensive clearing efforts, the caretaking team proceeded to address various items on their agenda, including the refurbishment of Boys Cabin 7, enhancement of the Upper Bowl area, establishment of a new parking lot for events with plans for future expansion, installation of new freezers in the snack shack and kitchen, and the introduction of new ovens in the kitchen. Noteworthy upgrades also encompassed the replacement of roofs at the dining/kitchen area, Upper Girls Cabin, Girls Cabin 8, and Cabin 10, expertly executed by Red's Roofing under the leadership of Mark Cooper and his dedicated team.
Furthermore, the caretakers adorned the main gate with charming wood carvings depicting woodland critters, adding a whimsical touch to the camp's entrance. While progress is being made in addressing the camp's ongoing improvement needs, the caretaking team remains steadfast in their commitment to implementing further enhancements in the upcoming year and beyond. Stay tuned for an array of exciting developments and transformations in the near future as YBC continues its journey towards excellence and innovation.
