Oh Deer!

At the O.A.C. meeting we talked about the colors of the bathrooms in the aquatics center. The toilets will be a fossil green. There were two other colors, one a white-ish cream and the other a darker green. The bathrooms are built and roofed.
The activities shelter is next to that.

My mom posted this picture on facebook and we didn't even know there was a deer there until Mrs. Carolyn (our membership specialist) pointed it out. See him there in the clearing between the two buildings?

That sneaky little devil... hahaha!

Quick Hello From Samantha S.

Hey hey - Sammi here. Exciting new details regarding the sandals resort (Arts Village). One of the cabins are built up with siding included! The bathhouse/kitchen is HUGE. Plus, it'll get bigger because I believe they're adding a wrap around porch to the exterior.

JR dug up Kaylee's mom's flip flop (she lost it in the mud a couple months ago). I heard he still has it in his office.
There's a roof on one of the buildings in the health and aquatics center. We got to choose the pool side awnings too! Fun colors there.

Okey dokie then, next meeting brings more deets so keep track of us.

Really Coming Together Now!

So I haven't been posting as often as I should. I'm excited to say that the camp is coming together. Cabins have been poured and walls are going up. The main house in the fishing village is coming together.
















Piping has been laid out and is underground and cabins are starting to be built!

My mom told me that we might be able to camp in the finished cabins in the summer. This is just phase one, keep in mind. They still have to make the other villages, and other buildings like dining hall. But it's enough to get us started! We're all very excited to see how it will turn out.

Catch-ya next time -Samantha S.

Types of Fish in the Pond

This is a Grass Carp. The grass carp is actually one of the largest members of the minnow family. The back of the grass carp is silvery to dark grey, and the sides of the body are lighter with a slightly golden sheen. The belly is silvery white. Fins are generally greenish-grey. The fish has relatively large scales. Teeth have been replaced by specialized structures called pharyngeal teeth located in the back of the throat. These are used for tearing and grinding plant matter.

This is a Bream. (Abramis brama), common European food and game fish of the carp family, Cyprinidae, found in lakes and slow rivers. The bream lives in schools and eats worms, mollusks, and other small animals. It is deep bodied, with flat sides and a small head, and is silvery with a bluish or brown back.

These are some of the many species that have to be either released or relocated to the new pond. We need to move them during the expansion of the pond. This task will need great effort and it will be expensive. They're doing all they can to save the marine animals though! - Samantha S.

Report From the OAC Meeting

Hey, this is Samantha S. -

This is the building where I met the North Fork contractors at my first OAC meeting! OAC stands for Owners / Architect / Contractor.

From the looks of the plans, North Fork should be ready faster than you think, and that's a good thing! Soon enough there will be a pool, a fishing village, an arts village, health center, and more. They're planning on expanding one of the ponds - and in order to do that they need to relocate the fish!

Definitely more to come next week! - Samantha S.
