Hello all!
I am starting my Eagle Project at Bancroft Bible Camp, and I am planning on having a work day this Saturday at 2:00 pm. My project consists of taking out an old fire pit and benches and replacing them with a stone fire pit and recycled plastic benches. On Saturday, I plan on at least putting together the new benches, and depending on the weather, we might take out the old benches, too.
If you could come and help, that would be greatly appreciated! Tools needed are wrenches and/or drills with hex attachments. Snacks and drinks will be provided. If you think you could come or want more details, please reach out and let me know!
Thank you!
