Drawing of the future cabin

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.

A feature of the annual elections meeting of the Outing Club, held last week in Room 1-190 on Wednesday evening, was the showing of a set of films on skiing. The films, part of an annual plan to provide an evening of pure entertainment, not just education, and to insure a quorum for the election of officers, occupied the last and largest part of the assembly.

As usual, elections were accomplished quickly. William Van Ravenswaay, ‘44, was elected president to succeed Walter G. Wells, ‘43. Wells made Van Ravenswaay the proud recipient of a box of steel wool, with which to clean Outing Club equipment as one of his executive duties. Joseph Shrier, ‘44, was elected trip director and Oiva R. Anderson, ‘45, has been chosen to occupy the post of secretary-treasurer. Cyrus H. Kano, ‘43, is the new meetings director, and James H. Klein, G., will be general manager of the ski team. The editor of the Outing Club News will be George H. Werner, ‘45.

It was also decided to hold the Outing Club office open on Monday, Tuesday and Friday evenings in order to stimulate and preserve interest, especially in skiing. Outing Club members are reminded that in order to lessen the ordinarily high cost to beginners, ski equipment may be rented this year.
