A New Step For Camp Tejas




If you didn’t catch it, then I’ll fill you in – the title for this blog is a cheesy pun. Yes camp Tejas is taking steps forward each year with new building projects, but this year we literally added a new step. If you have ever eaten a meal in the camp Tejas dining hall you know that there are times when it can get crowded. One of the most crowded areas is the area just past the end of the salad bar next to exit door where you take dirty trays. People getting food go through the area to find a seat while others finishing their meal are going through the same are to take their tray to be cleaned. Congestion builds fairly rapidly and it slows everything down. Although there are large plans to revamp the dinning hall, small fixes can make a big difference. Thats where the new step comes in. Recently a small railing was removed at the end of the salad bar to allow for a better flow of traffic. In theory guests going to find a seat can take the new step up toward the drink machines, while guests taking their trays can use the old step. So far things have worked out quite well except for the couple of falls we have had. So when you come to visit, be sure to watch your step.
