I love chopping wood. I had a wood-burning stove installed in my fireplace a few years ago and it is really efficient at heating the house in the winter, but the delightful, cozy, “Hygge” feeling of a wood fire in the winter is only a small part of what I like about chopping wood.

For the past several months, the denizens of Camp Regis Applejack have been serenaded by hammers, saws, drills and grinding gears. When the “music” stopped, our grounds boasted three new buildings, and a renovated playhouse. The new additions – Rainbow, Pathfinders, and Timbercrest Lodges – will house Regis campers and Apprentice Counselors respectively. The Playhouse now has a raised stage and a center curtain that will enhance summer productions. In...
