Here are a couple of recent photos of a new cabin built this summer at Camp Stephens. They were taken by Ana Rancourt. "They are built here and there in between the old cabin and they face the lake," Ana says.
During this year's work weekend a group of us insulated the walls of the four new cabins and began putting up the plywood interior. Additional work includes exterior railings and steps. Once the cabins are OK'd for kids the worst of the older cabins will be torn down.
Discussions continue on what to name the new cabins. There are a couple of old cabin names that may bite the dust, like Wigwam. Names like this reflect a different time at camp when aboriginal folklore, as seen by the white man, was central to camp programming.
Also, the cabin renewal fundraising campaign still continues. The goal is for of one or more of the new cabins to be sponsored by alumni. More information will be supplied soon.

Here are a couple of other photos Ron Tomasson and I took of the new cabins during work weekend.
Other work included repainting the dining hall floor and installing flooring in the camp office in Lount Lodge.
