Demolition of the Camp

The camp ceased operations after the summer of 1993.  In 1995, the city demolished many of the camp buildings and features.

There were several surprises in terms of what was demolished and what was not.  The Paddleball Wall was retained for some unknown reason; and the Muppet playground was removed despite its future viability. Also surprising was the decision to excavate and remove the pools – rather than just filling them in.

The following buildings were demolished:

Kitchen, Outdoor Patio, Nurse’s Building, Locker Room, all pool buildings, all cabin buildings – except one in each unit area, Garages, Jr. & Sr. A&C, Pottery, Photography, Nature.

The following features were demolished:

All treehouses, all playground equipment (except one swing set in the Muppet area) Mini-Golf. the Tennis and Basketball Courts, Outdoor Stage, Baseball Fence.

Remaining Buildings & Features:

Both A-Frames, commando course, paddleball wall, 3 cabin buildings

GOLF
LOCKER2
