Drawing of the future cabin

Camelot Bunkhouse Project 2024

A core part of the MITOC community, and in particular our access to the mountains, continues to be our well-loved “Camelot” cabin, located in central New Hampshire. As you may know, Camelot was built in the 1970s (on a shoestring budget), and it is nearing the end of its useful life. Since 2013, the Outing Club has been working to build new, safe and modern sleeping quarters on the Camelot property, which will ensure that MITOC can fulfill our mission for decades to come.

MITOC partnered with Maclay Architects to design a new bunkhouse for Camelot which will be located approximately 100m from the existing cabin. The new bunkhouse will contain five bedrooms (sleeping ten persons each), a large central hallway, and a covered deck. We anticipate the cost of the new bunkhouse to be approximately $500,000.

With the design now complete, we are actively seeking donations. If you are able, please consider donating to help us hit our fundraising target in 2024. We are breaking ground on site preparation in 2024, and fundraising permitting, we will complete the new bunkhouse in late 2024 or early 2025. This project will ensure we can fulfill our mission for the next generation of MITOCers.

Please be advised that we have been having issues processing payments from PayPal.

We recommend that you use a credit or debit card for online payment (we always accept personal checks in the office).

This page can be used to pay money to MITOC using PayPal or a credit/debit card. Payments can also be made by check at the MITOC office during office hours. All payments are final and non-refundable.

If you are having trouble with the payment system, contact mitoc-bursar@mit.edu. The most common issue is that the billing address must exactly match what your bank has on file, so if your card is declined, double-check the address you entered.

Financial Assistance

We provide need-blind financial assistance to any MIT undergrad, upon request. If finances are at all a factor in your participation, please don’t hesitate to use this resource. MITOC trip and rental fees will be waived upon request (ask your trip leader and/or desk worker). Gas/travel can be reimbursed (details under get reimbursed). For assistance with membership or other costs, please email mitoc-owner@mit.edu to ask about this fee being waived. If you are a non-MIT student please feel free to email to ask about financial assistance options.
