Life on Cabin Hill
McDuff, McChesney, McGregor, McDougal, McLean, McCall, McCormick, McVey. Each of our eight cabins is home to several counselors and a multi-aged group of campers. We believe that family-style, big brother/little brother or big sister/little sister living is best. Friendships between different-aged children allows older campers the chance to learn how to lead by example, to teach, and to mentor. It allows younger campers to learn from their older cabin mates, and to have older, more experienced campers to rely on for support, advice, help with inspection, etc.
The front five cabins are separated, by a line of lockers, into an East side and a West side. Some games and competitions are done by cabin, and some are done by East and West, so each camper has multiple allegiances to groups with different friends. We try to have one child of each age group and both older and younger counselors in each cabin.
