The Big Field
The sports field soil is mostly sand (as seen in this photo). It has always been difficult to grow grass. However, it is the drain field for run-off rain water from the gymnasium. The sandy soil allows water to be absorbed quickly.

Original Cabins
These cabins were completed in 1976. The cabins were completed and furnished just hours before the first summer camp in 1976. There was no AC, there were no ceilings or inside walls. The bunks shown here remained in use until about 2008. A few of them can still be found in the Lodge and Infirmary.
