With less than 65 days left until Summer 2025, the Clubhouse Renovation Project is nearing completion! The project has gone through quite a journey. It started back in December 2023 with our engineers, architects and construction team surveying the building. They made drawings, filed for permitting, and worked with our team on planning.
Construction started in September 2024 with KR Adams Construction, led by Craig Adams and Matt Ladd, who have worked on camp’s property for over 25 years. Craig and his team started the project by removing walls, flooring and rotten wood. A concrete foundation was installed, as well as a new floor and front wall. The roof has been leveled and walls straightened. The KR Adams Construction team led the charge fearlessly. The floor needed to be raised over 12 inches to make it level. This was quite the undertaking. The construction team devised hydraulic lifts to raise the building.
Over the winter, we installed new windows, walls and floors. This project also includes the reworking of the additional rooms connected to the Clubhouse, on the side nearest to Lakeside. These rooms have recently been known as Squirrels Nest, the Garden Shed, and the JC Room. Over the years, these spaces have been used in many different ways, and the current renovations will allow Brown Ledge to continue to use the spaces in a flexible manner. The space has been split into three separate rooms.
Fast forward to April 2025, we have a freshly shingled roof and the team has started to add new siding on the exterior walls of the building. The large exterior door from the road to the Clubhouse has been hand built and installed, as well as the entrance door to the Dance Studio. Inside, the curtain that previously divided the Clubhouse and Dance Studio now has a wall and large sliding doors. The electrician will be out soon to finish adding lights and fans!
During Work Weekend will work on the finishing touches including painting and gardening!
We cannot wait for everyone to see the renovated Clubhouse this summer!
