Bunks, Cabins, Shelters, and Tents


Camp Farnsworth is a Girl Scout camp and all of the housing is for girls ages 6 through 18 to enjoy an experience living in somewhat primitive conditions.  Therefore:

The Bunks
They are mostly cots with a plywood base and a 3-inch thick  30 x 72-inch foam mattress.  There are a few bunks of the same basic design that are double-decker.

The Tent Sites
Their are three tent sites.  The tents are cabin tents meant to be used when the Girl Scouts are at summer camp.  They are designed to provide shelter for the Girl Scouts over several years and hence  will stay dry on the inside during a rain storm, provided the sides have been tied down securely.  Each site has 8 tents with 4 bunks in each tent.

Each of the sites also has a "recreation" shelter which is open with no screens and no door, just a couple of entryways.

Ojackel
Ojackel has eight 4-person tents similar to those in Yaryole below and an open "recreation" shelter.


Tovariche
Tovarische has eight 4-person tents similar to those in Yaryole below.  It also has a special enclosed "recreation" shelter  that is more like a cabin.   It overlooks the lake and has shutters in the windows and a door which latches.
