After winning in 2010, we were recognized on Evening Magazine and the show followed up by shooting a segment about “The Blob” during the summer. This was great exposure for Firwood and they even re-aired the segment when we placed second last year.

If you can take a few minutes to vote, we would greatly appreciate it. We’d like to regain the title of “Best Kids Camp” and let everyone know that Firwood is the best camp in the Northwest!

Here are a couple of Facebook or Twitter posts that you can copy and paste to share with others.

The Honey Hut will be able to expand in this space and we will be offering new items, such as fountain drinks, Slush Puppies, hot beverages and frozen treats. We will also be able to stock more merchandise in the Honey Hut, to better serve campers and parents.

Now you may be thinking to yourself, what will happen to the old Honey Hut? We have transformed that space into a new office for our staff. This office will serve as the central hub for communication between staff, campers and parents. We will be able to better serve parents when they come to pick up or drop off campers, as well as respond to camper needs.

Both of these projects couldn’t have been completed without the direction of the Firwood Maintenance Director, Doug Walker, and the help of our volunteer, Bob Lee. Thanks to you both!

Check out a short video and these photos of the remodeling, in the album below. Post your thoughts about what you think about the new Honey Hut!

Evans says that, “As a parent, you may consider yourself ‘set apart’ from your child’s camp adventure because you aren’t in attendance. The success of the child’s experience, however, may very well depend upon your participation.” Make sure that you are part of your camper’s time at camp.

Also, Check out these photos of Camp Firwood in the snow! Post a comment of what you would like to do in the snow at camp.
