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.

The MIT Outing Club is centering a number of activities around its recently completed cabin at Intervale, New Hampshire. Numerous trips are based from the cabin and various social functions are scheduled in it.

Winter mountaineering is currently being avidly practiced. Numerous ski slopes are within the vicinity of the cabin. Wildcat, Black Mountain, Intervale, Cranmore, and Tuckerman’s Ravine are favorite downhill slopes, while the White Mountain National Forest and Pemigawesset have good cross country and snow shoeing facilities.

The cabin will have sleeping accommodations for forty people and contains a gas stove for cooking. It is available to non-members at a rate of $.75 per night.

Song fests and square dances are held quite often. The Mount Holyoke Outing Club will attend a square dance at the cabin on February 14, and the Smith Club will travel to the cabin on March 7.

All necessary equipment and additional information may be obtained from the Outing Club office on the third floor of Walker Memorial.
