First Steps

The restoration of 2 canoes began today. Campers and staff joined Eric Gyselman in the MPC shop to secure ribs, sand and varnish these yet to be named canoes.

It is, and will continue to be, a great opportunity for the campers to get some hands on experience with repairing and restoring these canoes that have been idle for too many years!

These campers are busy sanding and varnishing the Chestnut sailing canoe. This canoe was restored around 2000 by Preston Parsons. You may remember seeing it, it was the only green wood & canvas canoe that camp had!

Below, you can see Eric "eyeballing" the canoe.
