Rouse Cottage-New Lodging

What it will look like when it is done...

It should be completed in April 2015 or maybe even BEFORE! 

The building will have 5 bedrooms. Each bedrooms sleeps 4 people in bunk beds. 

It will have two restrooms with showers and a living room with a kitchenette.

A very BIG thank you to the Rouse Family for the donation.

Here is a BEFORE picture, waaay BEFORE...

Before the Dining Hall had a screen porch in early 1990's.
The fence was to store cross county skis during winter camps.
In summer we had a vegetable garden in front.
Along the edge was a flower garden.

Yesterday they worked on the roof tresses and walls in the back area and it shouldn't be long before they have the whole thing enclosed.

Construction News...More Like a REAL Building Every Day!

Here is the latest picture from yesterday...

They are working today to get the whole building "under roof" as soon as possible so they can pump some heat into it and start on the inside. They still need to put the back roof on. It is snowing so that makes everything harder.

Yesterday, the plumber was also working on the shower house. THAT should be done early next week and the plan is to pour the slab in the shower house on THURSDAY.

Happy Halloween!

Elliott House, the Director's House decorated for Halloween. It looks REALLY spooky at night!

Elliott House was acquired for the House In the Wood Director to use last November. This is the first part of a master plan to get House In the Wood ready to serve future generations. The Director's House makes us able to compete in the future for a top-notch Director to oversee House In the Wood. Elliott House is just down Bay Road from House In The Wood--about a five minute walk. Watch this blog for news about our upcoming building plans.

Elliott House was made possible by a generous donation from Mike and Kathy  Elliott.

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...
