… and that means change in routine for lots of folks.  We hope you had a wonderful summer and are enjoying the transition in to fall and all it’s splendor!  We had a WONDERFUL summer and that is thanks to many of you.  Both summer programs in West Virginia and Bedford Stuyvesant went very smoothly, a lot of phenomenal work was done and the PV Community bond grew even stronger.  Thank you for your commitment to “Be a Part of It,” building, serving and believing!

Also summer related, check out this link for some reflections from volunteers put together by our own Bob McGarry.  Thanks Bob!

Fall also means it is time to start thinking about attending the Fall PV Evaluation/Reunion Weekend.  Mark your calendars for October 16-17th.  This year’s event will once again be graciously hosted by Jo Welter at her house in Bradley Beach, NJ.  We hope you can make it!  Please RSVP to us at pvprogram@gmail.com.

Sorry for the delay, but well worth the wait we hope….

We were greeted this morning with a beautiful sunny morning.  Camp continues to go well.  The kids are having a great time and really enjoying being outside today.  It is hard to believe tomorrow is the last day : (

Today in the smallest age group they made toucans…

A one camper took a nap….

The middle age group continued learning about the rainforest through puzzles and word searches…

And the oldest group finished up their week long project of making mirrors….. (thanks George!)

This morning we woke up to a torrential downpour, that we soon found out had flooded the basement where we do lunches.  In true PV fashion, volunteers rushed down, fixed the loose pipe and started mopping, sweeping and scooping out the water.  Everything was cleaned up and dried up by the time camp began.

Despite the continuing rain, the camp has picked up kids each day.  Today the kids went into their groups early to work on rainforest projects since they couldn’t go out back for recess.  The children continue to be a joy to work with and they seem to be enjoying themselves.  Enjoy a couple of pictures from today.
