Our Remodeled Cabins! They are so NICE now!

We have finished THREE cabins and we are working on the other two cabins now. When we are done, we will have SEVEN year around cabins with heat and toilets. Until this remodel, during the Winter months we had only two year around cabins--Raccoon and Squirrel. Our other five cabins lost their heat and water during the cold weather from November to April. This brings our year around capacity to over 70 plus staff. This is what we have done...

New Curtains, Cupboards and Mattresses
Central Heat and Air Conditioning


New Doors, Add Charging Station, New Bulletin Boards
New Electric--it can carry the load!
New Sinks, Mirrors and Bathroom Wall and Floor Tile

New Toilets, Enclosures and Curtains

Better Lighting and New Floors

Watch us as we continue with our MASTER PLAN!

House In The Wood is operated by Northwestern Settlement, Chicago, Illinois.

Camp Wide Water Treatment Coming Soon

We are installing a new water treatment system AT THE SOURCE! This means that ALL water at camp will be soften (and taste better) including the water that you use to brush your teeth. Watch this blog for pictures of the process.

We have a few other facility changes in the works too. Stay tuned...
