Please consider volunteering to help build the Global Village at Camp Grier
in Old Fort. Next week the volunteers will build the Brick and Charcoal
Making Shed at the future Global Village site. Beginning Tuesday, July 10, the shed will be pre-fabricated in Asheville, and Thursday it will be
transported to Camp Grier and the site prepared. The shed will be
constructed on Friday and Saturday; we will dig post holes, set and
erect a prefab wooden post-and-beam frame, and assemble a hoop structure
for the roof. Necessary tools will be on site. To volunteer or for
more information, email Buzz at hobblein@hotmail.com or call 828.775.5593
The Camp Grier Global Village scheduled to open in 2013 and is a much longer story—but the short version:
The
Global Village is about exciting your imagination - an opportunity to
learn with hands and heart possibilities about making the world a better
place for our friends and neighbors around the globe.
