NJSOC has been awarded a challenge grant from the Bolger Foundation to help restore the South Hill Bathhouse, and we need your help to secure grant funding! We have been tasked with raising $100,000 to unlock $48,000 in grant funding, necessary to complete the project.
For the past 5+ years, the South Hill Bathhouse, which serves Cabins 1-6, has been unusable due to severe deterioration. Without the South Hill Bathhouse:
- Students and campers must share one bathhouse for the entire side of campus
- Some students and campers walk up to 20 minutes to access basic facilities
- Capacity is limited, impacting programs and access
With your support, we will be able to fully restore this historic 1930s bathhouse, including:
- Modern showers, sinks, and toilets
- ADA-compliant facilities for inclusive access
- Updated plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems
- A new roof and structural improvements
- Improved drainage and surrounding landscape
Consider donating today to help us restore the South Hill Bathhouse and bring it back to life!
The NJSOC School Partner Program matches corporate and individual supporters with New Jersey Schools to provide hands-on NJSOC field experiences for K-12 students.
