NAIOP volunteers to work on Girl Scout camp

On Sept. 13, more than 200 volunteers from the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties will work with members of the Totem Council of Girl Scouts to repair and expand the scouts' Camp River Ranch in Carnation.

The crews will build seven new conestoga wagon sleeping structures, providing sleep space for 28 additional scouts. They'll also repair trails, cut some new trails and repaint buildings.

NAIOP says it has collected more than $50,000 in materials and services for the job.

"In addition to helping a very important youth organization, this project gives an opportunity for the construction and commercial real estate industries -- historically male-dominated fields -- to mentor several Girl Scouts interested in these careers," NAIOP said in a press release.

Each summer the 55-year-old camp hosts more than 5,000 girls ages 5 through 17.
