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 group of winter sports enthusiasts of all kind met last Wednesday and organized a club to be known as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Outing Club. At present the club is seeking recognition by the Institute Committee. Its members consists of men interested in skiing, skating, snow shoeing, camping and mountain climbing.

The club is fortunate to have as advisers and sponsors Professor D. Peabody, of the Mechanical Engineering Department and ex-president of the Appalachian Mountain Club, and Dr. E. A. Hauser, of the Chemical Engineering Department and one of the well-known former Austrian Olympic skiers. Many other members of the Faculty are also interested in the new club, including Professor C. F. Taylor, Mr. T. Smith, Mr. L. Fairley, and Mr. F. K. Morris.

The skiers have already begun activity under the able direction of Mr. Stanley C. Brown, member of the Appalachian Mountain Club, who has already given two lectures. Further lectures are scheduled for December 11 and December 18.
