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.

For the second time the Combined Professional Societies’ budget of $67 was tabled at the Institute Committee meeting last night. This action came after a heated debate on the proposed budget.

The Executive Board of the Institute Committee felt that the budget called for unnecessary funds to be used for superfluous purposes. As a result of the tabling, Frederick W. Hammesfahr, ‘40, president of the Combined Professional Societies, and the Budget Committee will get together in an attempt to work out some suitable medium for the budget before the next meeting.

Outing Club Given $100

The Outing Club was granted $100 by the Institute Committee for the maintenance of a ski team. Previous to this, all expenses were borne by the members themselves because the Outing Club’s ski team is not a recognized sport and is therefore unable to obtain funds from the M.I.T.A.A.
