Camp Kresge Opens New Cabins At Beavers Lake Facility
State Sen. David Argall helped dedicate four new cabins at YMCA Camp Kresge near Beaver Lake as part of a drive to broaden access and year round activities. The upgrades include electric heat, synthetic siding, wheelchair accessible ramps, and doubled sleeping capacity to 16 per cabin, with other facilities like an accessible bathhouse and health lodge already added over two decades. Camp officials and lawmakers noted the program aims to create a camp for all, while extending a busy schedule of weeklong overnight and day camps with shuttles from nearby towns.
