McGough Construction Volunteers Construct New Accessible Ramp at Camp Courage
A brand new accessible ramp leading to the dining hall will greet campers in 2010 at Camp Courage on Cedar Lake. The new ramp was made possible by volunteers from McGough Construction and Tree Trust, Inc., both of St. Paul, Minn.
Spanning 220 lineal feet, the new ramp is part of an ongoing project to increase accessibility of the Woodland Campus Dinning Hall. The project was started in May by volunteers from Tree Trust Inc., and was completed on Saturday, Sept. 12, by a team of 25 volunteers from McGough Construction.
“It was fun to see a finished project. My crew felt very good about helping out an organization like Courage Center,” said Brad Wood, executive vice president, McGough Construction.
