Many who have been to this site left Bond before the physical improvements started in 1984 with the Dining Hall. Therefore the women among us grew up in what is now referred to as the “old girls dorm”. Pictures of the new facilities will be coming in late spring however I thought you might like a quick glimpse into the “new girls dorm” Gone are the wooden shutters, bare bulbed light fixtures and cracked concrete floors, group showers and banging plywood doors in the restrooms!
(Gwen Heavner is the tall girl in the hat, and according to Gwen that is Ralpha Painter on the left in the glasses.)
This photo is a shot of half of a 4 bed area … top and bottom bunk, crank windows with screens at the end of each bunk is an area to stow your gear… a top shelf, rod for hanging clothes and a lower shelf to help keep things off the floor.There are 4 wings to the new dorm each with 4 -4 bed areas. (total of 64 built in beds) The 16 girls and faculty in each wing share 2 showers, 2 toilets and 4 sinks. In addition there are at least 4 2 plug outlets in each wing. The girls say that is still not enough outlets!If needed old beds can be brought in to the center room and used as an overflow area for the more crowded weeks.

The old dorm is still standing and used as a storage area for old equipment etc. If you dare to venture in, many of our names and wads of gum are still visible!
More on camp upgrades to come!
