North Fork Taking Shape in Clay County

Aerial View of Construction at North Fork 
August 2009

It's all about the Infrastructure!  

While the girls are busy at school, the crew at Dana B. Kenyon and their many subcontractors have been busy getting North Fork ready to enjoy for generations to come!

Infrastructure - the roads, ponds, parking areas, plumbing, foundations, etc. are being put into place as we get ready to "go vertical" with buildings!  

Work continues on the main entrance - it's going to be a beautiful drive into camp! 

The pool gutters are in place.  The area around the pool is cleared - as you look at the aerial photo you can almost see where the buildings will be! It's such an exciting time for all of us watching your new camp take shape out here! 

The drip irrigation field is done - you'd never guess all that is under the ground there. The water treatment area is taking shape - all cleared and ready for the foundation to be poured.

The storm drainage system is being built out too - and ponds are being dug throughout the property. They may not look like much now, but when they are in place they will be breathtakingly beautiful spaces where generations of girls will learn to fish and skim stones.

At the Fishing Village, the foundation footers for the restroom and are about ready to be poured.  The A-Frame is gone and crews are ready to pour concrete slabs where the cabins will be. Renovations are taking place at the main house too, getting it ready to be part of the Fishing Village unit.

The Arts Village is starting to take shape! They have starting laying brick and pouring concrete for the activity centers there.

Want to help? Individuals and troops can still purchase a commemorative Brick Paver or have your name engraved on a bench at the Amphitheater - contact Linda Hull for details. Engrave your name in history at North Fork!

Thanks to everyone involved in helping North Fork blossom and grow into the camp we envisioned years ago when the Master Site Plan was developed with the help of girls, volunteers and staff. Stay tuned to this blog for more notes and pics!
