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.

A party of hiking enthusiasts sponsored by the M.I.T. Outing Club took an experimental hiking trip in the White Mountains last weekend. This group, led by Professor Dean Peabody, of the department of Civil Engineering, and Albert A. Sargent, ‘39, scaled the headwall of Huntington Ravine on Mt. Washington.

The men were equipped with crompons, ice axes, and skiis. They stayed in the Rocky Gulch hut of the Appalachian Mountain Club.

Business Meeting

A general business meeting of the Outing Club was held on Wednesday, March 29. Plans for the rest of the Spring and next year were discussed. Ski movies of Hannes Schneider were shown to members of the club.
