FACILITIES

CAMPER VILLAGE

Our Camper Village, built in 2008, consists of 9 wood-framed cabins (our ninth was built by our Senior Campers in 2010) and a large shower/toilet facility. We are extremely grateful to Standard Architects (Brooklyn, NY) and Buildwise Innovations (Northwood, NH) for the care, creativity and hard-work that went into the construction of all the new and renovated Beam facilities.

The cabins include built-in bunks and individual storage. Each cabin houses two counselors and a maximum of thirteen campers. Each camper is allowed four shelves for clothing and other personal belongings.

The shower and toilet building is divided in two and located within 40 feet of each cabin grouping. Each half is equipped with 8 toilets, 8 showers, and 7 sinks. Shower schedules are written each week to ensure Campers comfort in using the facilities.

The Beam Camper Village was constructed according to ADA Accessible Design standards.

DINING HALL

90-feet from end to end with a massive fireplace and high ceilings, our Dining Hall is the heartbeat of Beam Camp. We gather at 8:30am, 12:30pm, and 6:30pm each day to enjoy nourishing, well-balanced deliciousness served up by the wonderful kitchen staff. The Dining Hall also serves as a Domain and evening activity space.

WATERFRONT

Beam Camp rests on two lakes, Big Willey and Little Willey. Campers have opportunities for daily swimming from our beach and docks on Big Willey. We canoe and kayak on both Big and Little Willey. All of Beam Camp’s Aquatic Activities are supervised by our Waterfront Director. The Waterfront Director and additional Red Cross-Certified Lifeguards are on duty during all daily swims. On the second day of camp, each camper is tested for swimming proficiency and placed in an appropriate swim group in order to ensure their safety. Domains such as long distance swimming are also led from the waterfront under supervision of the Waterfront Director.
