The Mountain Capital Campaign News

Our Progress Is Exciting!

Amazing progress for projects is taking place:

• Two staff housing buildings (top left) include walls and roofs. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC has begun.
• UU Columbia (SC) members are impressed (top right)! This is really sturdy construction, the headers are tripled and 2x6 exterior walls ensuring good insulation -- the framing is built to last. ~~Kevin M.

• Permitting and survey prep work is underway on the lake dam

One Donor's Message

A Special Place -- Laird Parry



My grandparents, Judge Harvey Parry and Maud Montgomery Parry, bought the top of Little Scaly Mountain in 1908. Ever since then It has been a place where young (and not-so-young) people could come and discover a new world: from Camp Parrydise outdoor adventure camp for girls to The Mountain Retreat and Learning Center.

It is a very special place and we need to keep it that way. The Parry Family is proud to support the Capital Campaign, and we hope you will too.
