2020 Season Projects
With our doors closed for the 2020 season, we focused our energy on improving the safety and quality of the facilities on our campus for upcoming seasons. Here is a quick look at some of the major projects we completed.
Preserving Buildings
We sprayed preservative on all rustic cabins, the classroom, and dining hall. We also
stained the decks of the rustic cabins and dry lab.

Fences and Railings
We replaced and stabilized fences throughout campus, and installed new railings on
the deck in front of the office and Shambow.

Pathways
We created a new pathway between the dorm and the classroom, and expanded the existing
pathway to the rustic cabins.

Dorm Repairs
A portion of drywall in the ceiling of the dorm's front room collapsed due to water
damage over the winter. We waterproofed the deck above it to prevent similar issues
in the future and replaced the drywall. We also repainted the front room and the kitchen.
