Camp Mennoscah Annual Meeting and Dedication of the Renovated Campfire Amphitheater on Sunday, September 18!  Join us for an evening of song, popcorn, and generic pop, as well as updates and information on the year at Camp Mennoscah.  Time is yet to be determined, but will start in the early evening.  (It’s like a mini-Camp Sing!  Bring your friends for a happy sing-along.)

Other events and happenings:

Camp Mennoscah is considering moving camps to a Sunday to Friday schedule.  We’d be interested in hearing your thoughts–parents, campers, weekend groups, everyone!  Please reply to olivia.bartel@campmennoscah.org or call 620-297-3290.

Camp Mennoscah offices will be closed on September 5 for the Labor Day holiday.  We’ll be back on the 6th!  Camp staff work hours vary depending on scheduled events for the week. The office assistant also works part-time from home. (Whenever a group is at camp, a staff person will be on duty.)  Thank you for understanding!  We will be in touch as soon as possible.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Work & Play Day on August 20!  So much was accomplished–clearing branches and brush, watering trees, cleanup around the maintenance shed, and painting.  Thank you!  We still have more projects, if you missed out.  Contact Olivia at 620-297-3290 or olivia.bartel@campmennoscah.org to help.

Pardon the Mess!  Camp Mennoscah is cleaning out and organizing maintenance sheds and other buildings.  Items in the front “yard” will slowly find new homes.  Thank you for your understanding!

The following are announcements from Mennonite Central Committee.

Excuse our mess! The work of making necessary repairs and reconfiguring spaces at the MCC building in North Newton continues to move forward, but if you’ve seen the building lately you can see the mess is getting bigger! Parking space is limited, but we are thankful for the donors and volunteers who continue to graciously adapt to the current challenges. Soon the new sewing room will be added, and we cannot wait to host more volunteers at MCC! We ask for your prayers and patience during this construction process so the important work of MCC can continue without undue interruption.
