Thanks guys; great job! Hopefully everyone will have the opportunity to enjoy some leisure time with friends and family during these “dog days of summer.” Mike and I are always looking for new and different ideas for fun and entertainment at Southwoods RV Resort and the following are a few things to look forward to in the coming months. We are excited to introduce a couple of first-time events in August and September for our Southwoods campers, as well as a new purchase that will add to the intrigue and festivities throughout the month of October. The first is a Teen Weekend on August 5 th - 7 th that is sure to be a big hit with our FABULOUS teens who camp here. There will be several, special activities planned for teens only (ages 13 - 17 years) all weekend long— including a campfire, mini-golf tourna- ment, wagon ride, pizza & wings party, dance, swim night and a Worship Service for eve- ryone (all ages) but with a teen focus and involvement. On September 10 th there will be a Chainsaw Artist demonstrating his carving skills for our observation and entertainment. He will have some of his works on display for sale in addition to taking orders for pieces that you may wish to commission. Lastly, our Spooky, Haunted House will scare the tar out of you— if you’re brave enough to venture into it! The haunted house will be open each weekend in October so make your reservations now to camp at Southwoods…………. if you dare!

The summer months are in full swing now and with the recent high temperatures we’ve
had, the pools seem to be the place to be. Our celebration for the Independence Day Holiday
Weekend involved a lot of fun activities for all, but the highlight had to be the fireworks display

Mike and I are always looking for new and different ideas for fun and entertainment at
Southwoods RV Resort and the following are a few things to look forward to in the coming
months.
We are excited to introduce a couple of first-time events in August and September
for our Southwoods campers, as well as a new purchase that will add to the intrigue and
festivities throughout the month of October.
The first is a Teen Weekend on August 5th - 7th that is sure to be a big hit with our
FABULOUS teens who camp here. There will be several, special activities planned for
teens only (ages 13 - 17 years) all weekend long— including a campfire, mini-golf tourna-
ment, wagon ride, pizza & wings party, dance, swim night and a Worship Service for eve-
ryone (all ages) but with a teen focus and involvement.

skills for our observation and entertainment. He will have some of his works on display for
sale in addition to taking orders for pieces that you may wish to commission.

Groundskeeping at your Site
Just a reminder that if you are not able to get out to your site at the
beginning of the season— or anytime— to please make arrangements with a
neighbor / friend / relative to mow your lawn.
It can get pretty long and scraggly looking in a short time, and reflects
negatively on your neighborhood as well as the whole park.
Thank-you.
To Parents
With the advent of summer and school being out of session,
there is more time for kids and teens to enjoy being at camp. All kids
under the age of 18 need to be supervised. If parents need to go to
work and can’t be here at camp, you must make arrangements for
another adult seasonal to be guardian of your child/children while you
are away.
Mike and Sue need to have in writing, along with signatures
from both the parent and guardian, that the guardian is willing to take
responsibility of a child or teen while the parents are away. Anytime
a parent is away from camp for whatever reason and leaves a child/
teen, this needs to be done. In case of an emergency, we need to
know whom to contact; this information is kept on file in the office.
Thank you.
Swimming Pool Reminders
A reminder that everyone 17 years and younger needs to have a par-
ent or guardian with them at the pools.
Unfortunately, we’ve had to ask several teenagers to leave the pool a
few times already this year because there was no adult with them. These were
teens of seasonal and monthly campers.
Because we have no lifeguard on duty we have to abide by the rules
set by the Health Department and our insurance company, or we may lose the
privilege of having swimming pools available.
Also, please remember that there is no jumping into the pools or run-
ning on the pool decks as both are safety hazards.
We want everyone to enjoy the pools so please respect policy and
follow the rules. Thank you.
To Pet Owners
Please clean up after your pets, even if you walk them thru
the woods or maintenance field. Take a bag with you and clean up
after them and dispose in the garbage dumpsters only.
Mike and Bill frequently work in the woods and the mainte-
nance areas ,and would appreciate everyone being respectful and tak-
