The concrete foundation walls are up and Tree Top is starting to take shape.
It is all pretty exciting around here because we have also decided to take on yet another project, the Lodge is getting a much needed face lift! Why would we do that you might be asking yourself? Well, ultimately because we love you girls and a lot of Sunnysiders weren’t going to be able to be here without us doing something drastic. We fill up really quickly after camp (never forget to early enroll people!) and it was heartbreaking to us that some really sweet girls were going to miss out on their last summer with us due to lack of space. So for the first time ever, the Lodge is going to have campers living in it! Aren’t we crazy? Maybe a little bit. But it is going to be nice. Check out the progress so far. You would never even know it was the Lodge.

And then we put in some pretty stone steps on the bank up by the canoe shack too! Because why not?

Happy Camping! (Especially to you Sunnysiders)
From all of us here at Merri-Mac

IMAGE CAPTION – Camp is looking beautiful in the Fall.
There is a lot happening in our little corner of the NC mountains. The Tucker Inn expansion is exceeding our expectations (it is going to be beautiful), Anne is in NC meeting new camp families, and Adam is in South Florida doing the same. We would love to invite your friends to join us too so send us an email with any friends’ addresses you would like us to mail brochures to.
Black Mountain Expeditions is picking up momentum. We have some Spring Break trips lined up climbing in Joshua Tree, CA and have added a 1 week NC Adventure. Care to join us for a Wilderness Leadership Adventure?
Fall is falling at camp. It is in the low 70′s each day and low 50′s at night, so Lake Doris is starting to get cold but we are already putting our eye in it warming up in June!
From this Haven…
Adam and Ann
