Summary |
Over 20 BHA participants from BHA braved the wet and rainy forecast and attended Surprise Lake Camp's Volunteer Clean-Up Day. This annual event was held on Sunday, April 30, and in lieu of formal Masa programming in the building, Masa families were invited to participate in this mitzvah together.
This awesome and spirited group spread woodchips at the camp's playground, weeded the sand at the Teenside Beach and in the Volleyball Court, cleared paths of fallen branches and leaves, and added a coat of polyurethane to picnic tables. All on a wet, overcast, and rainy day! They were rock stars!
Volunteers were provided with bagels & lox and other sides for lunch, as well as Volunteer Day t-shirts as a thank you for their efforts.
We hope that the upcoming Masa year will be filled with more opportunities for similar experiences, and that we'll have an even greater BHA turnout for this event next spring.
