Raise the Roof 

End of life and storm damage have made roof replacements critical 
  • Hollander Hall – Camp Kitchen and Dining Hall 
  • Boeing Bunkhouse 
  • Ranger’s House

These roofs have all reached their expected end-of life, falling between 25 and 35 years old, and leaking roofs are causing internal building damage.
