Phase I: 2008-2009
In This Section
Goal
The Phase I Development Plan was to transform the former trailer campground into a site capable of supporting our first year running our summer camp program.
Timeline
Phase I began when we purchased the property in August 2008, and was completed by July 2009.
Objectives
- Upgrade the existing water purification system to meet provincial standards for children’s summer camps
- Build 10 camper cabins in two separate areas for boys and girls
- Build two additional washhouses for the cabin areas (cost: $4,000)
- Convert the existing White Owl Lodge into a temporary kitchen, including a walk-in cooler and commercial dishwasher
- Reroute the existing access road for our neighboring cottages
- Purchase or borrow needed activity supplies, such as kayaks, lifejackets, archery and woodworking equipment
- Borrow a marquee tent for use as a temporary dining hall.
