1. The Dining Hall Marker
A simple kitchen was the first building to be built on the Camp grounds in 1929 when the first camp was held. The Dining Hall, including the existing chimney, was built in 1931. A flagstone approach was added in 1938. Due to changing Health Regulations in 1963, the Dining Hall was remodeled. A new kitchen was constructed at its present site in 1965. The remodeling provided the Camp with the first showers and restrooms for the campers. This building has served as a dining hall, central assembly hall, classroom, and substitute Council Circle. It stands to this day as a testament to the vision and determination of Harry P. Muffly and to all the volunteers who labored to create this camp for their children and the succeeding generations.
