In June of 2004, a Camp Cleanup was held. Friends of Camp St. Augustine organized this effort with the Recreation Department. Nearly eighty people came to weed, prune and rake. It was fun day with all ages participating to enhance the Camp. And the ground truly looked beautiful at the end of the day. FOCSA hopes to work with the Recreation Department to make this an annual event.
Several Eagle Scout Projects are in process on the property including a new bridge on the trail that connects Camp St. Augustine with Cocasset River Park, an amphitheater in the woods and the all critical project of grooming, mapping and naming the trails. Work is also being done to provide swimmers with a place to store belongings in the Recreation Hall. A special thank you to the Boy Scouts for taking on these projects.
