[Namron] Ramping up Camp Cimmeron

Tue Oct 17 08:04:25 PDT 2006

While Bjorn and I were there early on Friday, there was a group from the United way I think, that was re-roofing a hut as volunteers.  Perhaps we need to get with the site manager at the camp and discuss with her about getting in touch with those folks about dissability access...

Also, Has anyone ever thought of using Camp Ekowa?  I've been once before and access to feast hall, as best I can remember, is ground level.  There might be ramps needed for the showers, but I thought it was a lovely site.

Just a thought.

Well since we can't use SCA funds to make improvements to sites we would have to find donations. I am willing to bet though.. if we spearheaded an improvement effort on behalf of the Camp Fire Group we would be able to get community donations. Two things businesses seem to like are helping kids and tax write offs.  Community service projects hosted by the SCA can open a lot of doors in many areas. 
Also if we have any grant writers in the group we might be able to get government funds through the American Disibilities act because of the types of improvements. 

Weather we as the SCA ever use the site again or not #1 Community service is a good thing and #2 it will make it eaiser for more children with impariments to go to camp there. Not to mention the aid it will be to our members if we use it in the future.

No joke!  We need new tires on our van in front, so we had to leave site early on Sunday.  Still, we slipped and slid all over the road until we got to the highway.  The "roads" toward the cabins are absolutely awful.  There are some places where rocks or an exposed piece of concrete is poised just waiting to take out an oil pan. 

If the barony is going to undertake refurbishing Cimarron, this may be a huge project which can last a long time and have several phases.  Access is not really appropriate for anyone with accessability issues of any kind . . . wheeled fire breathing dragons included.

If we are thinking of doing work to improve accessibility, I have a suggestion.  Some gravel or hard surface paths on site will be a big benefit to the visually impaired, and to those with mobility issues.  The uneven paths and roads are difficult as is, but when they become wet and muddy they are dangerous.
