Our capital campaign for the Centennial Lodge was officially announced at the recent reunions in Massachusetts and New Jersey.

For those who have lived camp, you are aware that we are desperately in need of additional program space. To meet this need, we are hoping to build the Centennial Lodge in time for our 2013 season... and our 100th anniversary celebration!

To be located between the infirmary and the chalet with spectacular views of the lakes and mountains, this exciting new addition will provide much needed indoor space for rainy day program and more. At present, we have only two areas for use during rainy days: the barn and the library/rec-room. The lodge will allow us to provide indoor recreation for each unit. We are also short on dedicated program areas for fly tying and weight-lifting.

The Centennial Lodge will have a large open space on its main floor with a field stone fireplace on one end of the room and a stage on the other. The downstairs will house fly tying, a weight room and additional space for storage or future program needs. Fly tying now competes with arts & crafts and the weights interfere with the use of the barn.

Functionally, the Centennial Lodge will provide significant benefit to camp and we are sure that it will get extensive use. It is also critical to continue to invest in camp to remain competitive. We hope that you will support us in this very important undertaking.
