The Field House is on Schedule for Completion
Magic is in the crisp air at Greylock, as construction moves ahead on
the new field house. During last winter, the permit to build this amazing facility
was finally approved. Occupying 22,000 square feet, it will be the largest recreational
field house of any residential sports camp. Equipped with four indoor basketball courts,
retractable baskets, Lexan walls, bathrooms, and even conference rooms, this sports
complex will be unbeatable. Although we could have built a smaller structure, the result
would have proven inadequate, as it would not accommodate the current needs of our
campers…the vastness of the new facility will hold an entire division comfortably.
Watch the field house being built from the ground up!
