On September 27, board members, alumnae, donors, staff, and friends came together to celebrate the ceremonial groundbreaking of this historic renovation. Built in 1928 as Camp’s original dining hall, the Lodge has always been the heart of Huckins life. It’s the one place every Huckonian across generations has experienced and made meaningful memories. Now, we’re preparing this cherished space for the next century.
The expansion and renovation will preserve and enhance the Lodge’s character while transforming the back of the building into the space we need for campers and staff to thrive today and for generations to come. The project will expand the lodge forward by 16 feet, creating a more welcoming gathering space and a wraparound porch accessible to all.
Updates to the back side of the building will include adding bathrooms, a prep kitchen, a full basement, and an updated staff lounge and space featuring memorabilia celebrating our 100 years of history. This reimagined space will affectionately be known as “The Hutch,” honoring longtime Director Jody Hutchinson Skelton, who retired in 2020.
The project is officially underway and led by Hardypond Construction out of Portland, ME. Hardypond is helmed by alumna and current camper parent, Deirdre (Gaudreau) Wadsworth.
We are grateful to the supporters and volunteers that have helped us reach this milestone.
