Palmer Lodge A

Located in the center of the old camp, Palmer Lodge (A & B) is one of the original buildings that came with the camp property in 1940. With numerous additions and renovations the building served as the camp dining hall until Foster Hall was constructed in 1995. Currently, Palmer Lodge is split into two sides which are available as winter rentals. In the summer time Palmer A serves as staff housing and Palmer B is one of the best Handicraft Lodges in the North East Region.

Grundy Lodge was built with the help of the Grundy Foundation of Bucks County in 1963. It is available for rental in the off-season and in the summer-time it serves as staff housing. The building's only source of heat is the wood burning stove but it does have electricity and a gas range for cooking.


 

Memorial Lodge (O.A. Longhouse)

memorial

Also known as the O.A. Longhouse, this building was constructed in 1971 by Ajapeu Lodge #33. The building is dedicated to the memory of Douglas Booth and William J. Erkes, both of whom were killed while serving in Vietnam.
The building is set-up like one large barracks with a small kitchen area in the front. Central heat makes it a very comfortable building in the winter. Central air makes it a good instructional area for some of the Eagle Required Badges our camp offers in the summertime.


Rotary Lodge

Ockanickon's most primative camping cabin is situated in the beautiful Tohickon Gorge not far from the Camp Rifle Range and High Rocks (across the creek). Originally built by the Troop 290 Association of Philadelphia, the cabin and adjacent land became a part of Ockanickon Scout Reservation in 1975. It's location and limited facility is sure give any troop a challenging camping experience. We suggest you plan on packing all in your gear, food and water to this cabin!


 

Stone Conservation Lodge (Ecology Lodge)

 

Commonly called the Ecology Lodge, this building comfortably accommodates 20 campers with ample surrounding space for additional tents or a dining fly, should a unit wish to cook outdoors.  This site does not have its own latrine.
