QUINCY — Approximately 25 volunteers gave their time to assist with fall clean-up at Camp Sacajawea. The volunteers were members of Tau Kappa Epsilon, a social fraternity at Culver Stockton College.
The students spent approximately two hours removing brush and picking up trash adjacent to the trails. In addition, they maintained the fire pits, stacked wood for the fire pits and cleaned around the cabin.
According to Barbara Baker Chapin, Director of Development at Transitions, the group’s volunteer service was greatly appreciated.
In a press release, Chapin said, “We deeply appreciated the Tau Kappa Epsilon members and their gift of time to do fall clean-up at the camp. The weather will soon be such that scout troops and other groups will want to use the camp for overnight camping and other get-togethers. It will be nice to have the trails rid of debris and the fire pits clean and inviting for those who come out to the property.”
Camp Sacajawea is owned by Transitions of Western Illinois, a community mental health and rehabilitation services provider. Located on 77 acres of timber land, Camp Sacajawea has handicapped accessible trails that are available to the public for walking. The property also has a small lodge for use by not-for-profit groups.
If a group is interested in using the camp and/or the lodge, contact Angela Dean of Transitions by calling 217-223-0413, Ext. 306 to schedule the facility.
