Pool & Showerhouse

When the pool relocated from Hill High to it's present location, it got bigger and better. By no means a huge pool, it's big enough to serve us quite nicely. The pool ranges from 2 ft. on one end to 8½ ft. at the other. No diving is allowed, but fun in the sun is definitely encouraged. Attached to the pool is also the main showerhouse. There are two sides, six stalls per side, and each side also has a sink, mirror, and benches. Outside there's a deck where campers and counselors can leave their belongings during a pool or shower session. Each unit will swim and shower everyday (except incoming and outgoing days, of course).

Behind the pool is the brand new Priscilla Oliver Picnic Shelter, a great place to have a pack-out lunch, play games, make ice cream, or just chill while visiting the Trading Post. The shelter is about two years old, and on it is a plaque, which reads:


Priscilla Oliver's

Mix equal parts:
Fun, Adventure, Dedication,
Enthusiasm and Love
Warm over a campfire or buddy burner.
Serves Everyone.
Lasts Forever.

Dedicated in her spirit and memory.
1920-1985
