Et cetera : NCCC’s Maple 5 Getting Dirty in Indiana

  By: Alicia Volk                                                                                                                                                                                 For Maple 5’s last service project is in Greenfield, Indiana, 15 miles outside of Indianapolis. We are working at Nameless Creek Youth Camp; doing repairs, maintenance and trying to expand the camp. We have been here for about two weeks and I think we are enjoying ourselves and the staff a lot. Maple 5 was supposed to be here about 2 weeks earlier than we arrived, but we got called out to assist with disaster relief in North Dakota. The staff is all volunteers and they are absolutely great to work with. We even got to participate in the towns’ parade on a “float.” The camp already looks different from what we first saw when we came here. We have fixed the three cabins they have from the roof, down to the stairs. We are also planning to build a new pole barn and making a baseball field. I cannot wait to get more done for this camp because the staff deserves it. I am sure we will meet all the tasks they want done and hopefully more.
