March 2024 Update

The Conant Lodge Capital Campaign continues! While the first phase of the campaign's work wrapped up last summer with the exciting opening of the expanded and refurbished Conant Lodge to Campers, the second phase is ongoing. This second phase involves the completion and activation of the two solar panels which will power a portion of Camp operations and reduce the Camp's overall carbon footprint.

To date, over 150 friends and families of Cold River Camp have contributed to this effort, BUT we are still relying on generous donations from the Cold River Community to complete this work.

A donor recognition plaque that recognizes the Conant Lodge Project donors will be installed in the new dining room prior to the 2024 summer season.  Due to the production timeline, only the names of donors received by AMC by March 31, 2024, will be included on the plaque.

This is a timely opportunity for you to make a lasting commitment to Camp by donating and joining those who have already stepped up to help. We cannot thank you enough for helping to carry forward the spirit of Cold River Camp for its next 100 years!

Please send any additional contributions to the AMC (address below), or email Stephanie Schiele (sschiele@outdoors.org) with any donor questions.

Be sure to specify that your gift is intended for the Conant Lodge Capital Campaign.

Summer 2023 Completion:

The Conant Lodge renovation project has completed and is ready to welcome guests to CRC this summer! We can’t wait to enjoy the new dining room, ADA accessible bathrooms, expanded indoor gathering space, beautiful Royce views from the rear sun deck and modern, efficient kitchen with you all.

Deepest thanks and appreciation to all among us in the Cold River Camp community who rose to the challenge and supported the Lodge Capital Campaign and renovation project with donations of their funds, time, creativity, and hard work.

It has truly been a community effort from inception to construction, and we believe it is a testament to both the power of our love for Cold River Camp and the legacy of friendship it inspires.
