Drawing of the future cabin

Camelot Bunkhouse Fundraising

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 2025. We broke ground on site preparation in 2024, and fundraising permitting, we will complete the new bunkhouse in 2025. This project will ensure we can fulfill our mission for the next generation of MITOCers.

Paddle Boarding

New England’s serene waterways offer a unique perspective for those willing to trade the pavement for a paddle. From sunset sessions on the Charles to chilling on serene lakes, Stand-Up Paddleboarding (SUP) is one of the most relaxed ways to get outdoors with MITOC.

SUP Trips

MITOC runs SUP trips throughout the year around the Boston area. SUP trips are posted on the trips page and announced on the mitoc mailing list and paddle mailing list.

Are you an experienced paddle-boarder interested in helping out with official trips? Email the SUP chair.

SUP Rental

MITOC has 9 inflatable SUPs and a selection of personal floatation devices (PFDs). PFDs are required when using MITOC boards, and are included in the board rental price. All users of MITOC SUP boards must be able to swim.

To rent SUPs on your own:

  1. Be a MITOC member. Check that your membership is active and your liability waiver is up to date.
  2. Have deposit checks on file. In order to rent gear, you need deposit checks on file to cover any damage or theft of boathouse equipment. Drop off deposit checks at MITOC office during MITOC office hours, prior to your trip. You will need two deposit checks ($300 and $700 in value). These checks are kept for one year, and you can rent (any MITOC gear) as often as you like without writing more checks.
  3. Request approval from the SUP chair and fill out a SUP float plan form.
  4. After your trip: a brief report to the SUP chair would be appreciated about any issues with the gear as well as any comments of interest about your experience. Please dry your board and PFD before returning them to the office. Damp gear cannot be returned.

If you haven’t used the MITOC boards before, please contact the SUP chair for more information. We recommend attending an official MITOC SUP trip before renting the boards for personal use.

Please see the boathouse rental information for a price list and details on rental procedure.
