Rotary Work Day at Camp Cedars

Post Project Report

On Saturday, May 2, the Rotary Club of Omaha proudly continued its long-standing tradition of service and partnership with Scouting America through our annual Rotary Work Day at Camp Cedars in Cedar Bluffs, Nebraska.

This year’s Rotary team included six Rotarians and one future Rotarian, Philip Hoffman III. Volunteers included Bill Harvey, who generously spent his birthday serving alongside fellow Rotarians, Charlie Peters, Sarah Robak, John Fullerton, Colin McArthur, and Yolanda Hoffman.

Together, the group helped prepare Camp Cedars for the busy summer season ahead. The work included removing old tent frames, installing new frames, drilling, lifting, securing materials, and helping improve campsites that will soon welcome Scouts for another season of outdoor learning, leadership, and character-building.

The day was more than a service project. It was a meaningful reminder of Rotary’s deep connection with Scouting and our shared commitment to developing young leaders. Working side by side on a beautiful morning, Rotarians strengthened a partnership that has served generations of youth in our community.

A special highlight of the day was celebrating Bill Harvey’s birthday after the work was done. The group gathered to sing “Happy Birthday” to Bill, a fitting tribute to a great Rotarian who chose to mark his special day through service.

Thank you to all who volunteered and helped make this year’s Rotary Work Day a success. We look forward to continuing this annual tradition and growing our impact at Camp Cedars in the years ahead.
