Camp buildings include:

  • Maxim’s, a carpeted dining room overlooking the pool and the waters of Indian Cove.
  • Two-story bibliothèque filled with both English and French stories, histories, and books about nature and travel.
  • Malmaison that includes staff housing and a modern kitchen where campers concoct French desserts and full meals in French cuisine class.
  • Le Ritz game room with Ping Pong and babyfoot (foosball) and a second kitchen for French cuisine class.
  • Le Colombier, a stone water tower modeled after a French dovecote with an open-air room at the top.
  • The Longhouse theater for camp performances, designed after Native American longhouses used in the area in the past.
  • L’Atelier, the open-air art workshop.

Campers live in canvas tents on wooden platforms with electricity, cots and mattresses, and a wooden storage box for each camper. Up to six campers of the same age stay with one counselor in each tent.
