Alumni Cabin Plans Revealed

The foundation is poured and designs are being finalized. What has emerged is an exciting addition to camp : an alumni cabin built by the alumni for the alumni.

As one of the key elements of our An Enduring Legacy Capital Campaign, the new alumni cabin will be up and ready for the summer....and more importantly in time for our 75th Anniversary celebration. Alumni, you have something new to cheer about!

Nestled among the pines of Buck Lake shore, the alumni cabin plans include two bedrooms, two bath and a beautiful stone fireplace.

A Snowy Camp

I've always thought that one of the most beautiful times at camp is after a heavy snowfall, though I could do without the -34 degree temperature. Mike E. and CJ snapped these shots over the holidays.
