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.

Skiing in the Austrian Alps was very vividly portrayed by motion pictures on Wednesday, March 18, in Room 6-120, under the auspices of the M. I. T. Outing Club. Professor Ernst A. Hauser of the Chemical Engineering Department was in charge of the projection and commented on the films.

Many skiing enthusiasts were present to see the pictures, which were shown for the first time in the United States. Besides depicting the most skillfull forms of skiing on some of the tallest peaks in the Austrian Alps, the pictures were of considerable interest to photographers, since they represented expert photographic handling of some of the most beautiful of the Alps.

It was also announced at this meeting that the M. I. T. Outing Club was recently recognized by the Institute Committee as an official activity at Technology.
