Shrimp and Jersey

Last week we opened our doors to five states and about 60 people. People who have stayed at some of the other PDA camps arrive at Olive Tree and automatically feel spoiled so it's no surprise that some of the groups go to great lengths to make it feel like the "real" Hilton. A group from New Jersey treated the group to fresh-from-the-dock shrimp three times last week! Talk about being spoiled. Of course they have all worked very hard on the sites as evidenced by all of the people hobbling around moaning and groaning about their sore muscles. The good news? People are working hard and having a great time. We will update with pictures soon as promised.

We just started with a new bunch of people (about 70) and are looking forward to another great week here at the Village.
