CAMP BIG TIMBER Welcomes new CBT REPAIR & MAINTENANCE CHAIR - Dave Daly

Many service projects are being scheduled for Camp Big Timber to help improve our camp. The first of these was held July 10th. Around 20 adult & youth volunteers spent their Saturday with Dave & Ranger Art, removing dead trees, splitting logs & stumps for firewood & stacking the firewood into piles around the camp. Many thanks to those who helped!

View photos of them hard at work below & in the CBT R&M Photo Album.

Wood Badge Conservation Project Held at Camp Big Timber

Des Plaines Valley Council recently held part of its Wood Badge Course C-22-09 at our camp. One of the learning experiences was to learn how to plan and conduct a service project. Camp Big Timber was the beneficiary of this project, which was to clear out invasive species of bushes and trees which were engulfing the fire bowl and treehouse areas of the camp. Many thanks to the staff and participants who did such a wonderful service project for the camp! View photos of this project below.
