Memorial Day Work & Play Retreat
On Saturday, participants will help camp with a variety of projects to help get Camp ready for summer. The project list includes (but are not limited to!) spring cleaning a few cabins, setting up the volleyball net, moving the snow tube bridge, replacing the benches at the Goldmine (adding bench seats), completing the insulation and interior wall finishing in Staffville cabins, and installing path lights from the A-frame to Aspen.
Sunday is the “play” part of the weekend including a morning worship service and brunch, leaving the afternoon for hiking, playing on the pond, taking a nap, or whatever other interests you have!
Individuals and families with children are all welcome to attend. We have projects that can be adjusted for skill level and ages. One parent will be responsible for their children while the other volunteers, as no childcare is provided. So bring the whole family! Register online (www.rmmc.org),
call (719-687-9506) or email (info@rmmc.org) to let us know you can come!
Again this year, the pond at RMMC is swimming with fish. The pond was stocked with about 50 rainbow trout in late April. With warmer temperatures this spring, the pond had already begun to melt. After the fish were acclimated to the water temperature they were released into the pond. Campers and guests visiting RMMC this summer can try their hand at catch-and-release fishing this summer or just enjoying seeing them swimming under a paddle boat.
