CAMP SMALL VALLEY

Camp Small Valley, founded in 1955 and comprised of 762 acres in upper Dauphin County, is an idyllic camp setting. The CDA Team is working on 3 categories of phased improvements: New Buildings, Renovations, and Site/Vehicular Upgrades for the Girl Scouts in the Heart of Pennsylvania.

The Phase 1 work ranges from converting a stable into an Environmental Education Center enhanced by a new nearby Amphitheater providing seating for groups of up to 300.

In total there are 20 distinct projects at the camp. During the conceptual design phase CDA thought about how best to overcome the ad hoc feel at Camp Small Valley while creating a 21st century camp aesthetic through an honest expression of durable materials. Exposed wood structural systems, standing seam metal roofing, groundface CMU, cast-in-place concrete and other materials being developed with simple and clean details within distinct and memorable forms is the approach crafted by CDA.
