Year-Round Dedication to Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert
From left to right- Cody, Mike, Tasha, Jeff, Ryan- While campers are away, the maintenance team is hard at work! This fall and winter, our crew tackled a wide range of projects to keep Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert in top shape and fully prepared for summer.
From essential seasonal upkeep to big repair projects, our job is to make sure camp is safe, beautiful, and ready for fun the moment campers arrive.
The Heros of Seasonal Upkeep at Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert
As the seasons change, so do our priorities. During the colder months, we focus on:
- Clearing the grounds of leaves, branches, and debris
- Shutting down water systems and performing blowouts to prevent freezing
- Servicing boats and equipment for winter storage
- Plowing and shoveling snow to prevent structural damage from ice and heavy accumulation
Some of this winter's biggest projects included repainting and repairing screens and screen doors on camper cabins, sanding and sealing bathroom stall doors at both camps, scraping old paint from cabins, and prepping buildings for spring painting. We also rebuilt the Swan pontoon boat and repaired sailboats so they're ready to hit the water this summer. On top of that, we sanded and resealed dining hall tables, and cleared out brush and fallen trees.
Shifting for Summer Needs
When summer arrives, our role shifts to keeping the camps looking beautiful and running smoothly. That means mowing lawns, trimming trees, addressing unexpected repairs around cabins and common areas, and keeping boats and waterfront equipment in top condition. Every day brings something new—and that variety is part of what makes the job so rewarding.
Whether we're tackling a long-term project or fixing something on the fly, the best part of the job is seeing the campers enjoy the spaces we've worked hard to maintain. Their energy and excitement make it all worth it, and it's a daily reminder of why we love being part of the camp experience. Camper always remember to thank your friendly neighborhood maintenence team for all their hard work!
