Mark Jenkins, the Executive Director of Cedar Springs Camp said, “The steps he replaced had created a safety issue. Upgrading them made it cleaner and hazard free.” Meier continues, “The outdoor stairs had been made of old tires that were worn and wires were sticking out and cutting people’s feet. I did most of the work of removing the tires and designed the new steps.”

Servant leadership projects require a great deal of work. A Trailman must design the project, obtain the necessary approval, acquire materials, build a team, and lead the project to completion. Meier used GPS coordinates to find the bottom and the top of the hill, designed 28 box steps to match the grade of the hill, and then led a team of nine volunteers to assemble the steps, fill them with dirt and gravel, and cover the foundation he built with a rubber padding.
