MIT Outing Club

Camelot Bunkhouse Fundraising

A core part of the MITOC community, and in particular our access to the mountains, continues to be our well-loved "Camelot" cabin, located in central New Hampshire. As you may know, Camelot was built in the 1970s (on a shoestring budget), and it is nearing the end of its useful life. Since 2013, the Outing Club has been working to build new, safe and modern sleeping quarters on the Camelot property, which will ensure that MITOC can fulfill our mission for decades to come.

MITOC partnered with Maclay Architects to design a new bunkhouse for Camelot which will be located approximately 100m from the existing cabin. The new bunkhouse will contain five bedrooms (sleeping ten persons each), a large central hallway, and a covered deck. We anticipate the cost of the new bunkhouse to be approximately $500,000.

With the design now complete, we are actively seeking donations. If you are able, please consider donating to help us hit our fundraising target. We broke ground on site preparation in 2024, and fundraising permitting, we will complete the new bunkhouse in 2027. This project will ensure we can fulfill our mission for the next generation of MITOCers.

An old-fashioned barn dance will be held by the Outing Club on Saturday, November 18, in the Hangar Gym. Fifty M.I.T. Outing Club members and fifty Radcliffe Outing Club girls will attend the affair.

The homemade band will be composed of two fiddles, a mouth organ, and a guitar. The players are members of the Outing Club. Besides square dances there will be some singing. Cider and doughnuts are going to be served at the affair which will last from 8:30 until 12:00 P.M. There will be a cover charge of 25c a person to cover expenses.

The next rock climbing trip will take place on Sunday, November 19, to Rattlesnake Cliff in Blue Hills.
