Impact of New Trips Building
- Expanded facility supporting our core outcomes: interdependence, agency, and identity
- New 800 sq ft space for gear organization and trips programming and preparation
- Improved van parking and turnaround space
- Water and electricity for equipment care and hygiene
Project Timeline (2025)
- February and March: With your help, finish fundraising. F&W Facilities team will do site clearing and cut a timber frame.
- April: Foundation work begins.
- May – Early Summer: As part of training, seasonal Work Projects staff will work alongside Year-Round Facilities staff, to erect the base and frame.
- During camp season: our staff and campers, led by the Firefly Song Work Projects staff, will complete the project!
Why This Matters
Such a large-scale project will support the skills acquisition F&W is known for. Also, the high visibility this project will have, and its connection to two of our core activity areas – Work Projects and Trips – will help campers consider their own relationship with these aspects of our program, further supporting their sense of agency and identity development.
