The experience

A truly multi-functional space. Twin trusses frame ridge skylights which bathe campers in sunlight for three meals a day, and cast a starry glow over prom and movie nights.


A generous screened porch brings the magic of campfires indoors, making rainy-day s’mores, music jams, and impromptu storytelling not just possible, but irresistible.

Hand-painted Alice in Wonderland caricatures—originally adorning the camp’s iconic red bus—grace the walls, linking past to present with whimsy and reverence. Custom cabinetry and furnishings, built from reclaimed wood, echo the camp’s rustic roots.

Wheelchair-friendly screened doors, hands-free lighting, acoustic engineering, and a high-contrast color palette ensure accessibility is seamlessly integrated into the design.

Behind the scenes, upgraded kitchens, robust IT systems, and expanded service areas empower staff throughout the season—and unlock opportunities for off-season rentals, extending both the reach and resilience of the organization.
