Buildings

[edit]

There are a number of buildings around the central area of camp with a number of buildings being replaced recently due to a number of reasons including their age and capacity. There are also many structures along the peninsula with none of them being fully enclosed.

Dining Hall

[edit]

The Kenneth W. Ford Lodge or otherwise called the dining hall is a large hall with a kitchen used for serving meals during summer camp season. There are two alcoves on either side of the main hall and several bathrooms near the kitchen. On one side of the building is a large ramp leading from the parade grounds to a small hall in the building where food is served.
