The CCC has big plans to build a Recreational Hall at Camp Cherokee.

Due to the recent and unfortunate fire to our Health Center at YMCA Camp Cherokee, we worked with Vinyet Architecture to revamp the Recreation Hall plans to include a new health center and staff housing. Though these changes alter the scope of the project, they will provide a space that meets the needs of Camp Cherokee now and in future years. Below you will find the most recent plans:

The front of the Recreation Hall is largely the same. Note the all access ramp, large front porch space and multitude of windows for natural light.

Level One provides a large indoor space for camp programs as well as special events such as weddings and conferences. There are large multi stall restrooms, plenty of storage and a fireplace for campers and guests to enjoy.

Level One also includes offices for camp staff. This will allow full time camp staff to be located in one building and make it easier to collaborate on programing, fundraising and other projects.

As you move to the corner of the Recreation Hall, you will notice there are now two levels.

By utilizing the space below the original Recreation Hall, we will be able to add a health center as well as staff housing.

Level Two will provide a health center on one side and a staff apartment on the other. The health center will include a large open room, perfect for medicine distribution and a cool place for campers to sit if over heated. It will also include four individual camper sleeping areas, two nurse areas, a kitchen, multiple restrooms, a laundry room and plenty of storage.

The staff apartment will feature a full kitchen, living room, bedroom and restroom.
