Major Needs and Hoped for Improvements

Sample of what could be built

No - we don't actually have any shelters. The picture to the right is an example of what we would like to construct in the primitive camping field. Small shelters that could hold three to four picnic tables. Other major needs and hoped for improvements:

• Toilet/shower Building to Serve the Pool and Tent Camping Area
• Storage Building
• Repairs to the Dam
• Road Repair
• Repair Tasks on Kateri Chapel
• Utility vehicle (think Gator)
• Small pick-up truck
• Canoes, Kayaks and Peddle Boats 
• Large deck at the rear of the meeting Hall
• Basketball, Volleyball and Gaga Pit adjacent to the Hall

Lots more possibilities. Please keep in mind that we are not trying to create a long-term summer camp. Camp Tekakwitha is operated on a financial shoestring.
