New Cabins at Camp Cherokee

Earlier this year, the College partnered with the YMCA to help build and outfit three new cabins at Camp Cherokee in Kings Mountain State Park. Our Building and Construction Trades students and faculty built two sleeper cabins and wired them with electricity. In addition, they helped build a cabin that is ADA compliant and installed it with plumbing and electricity. Jason Ghent, BCT faculty member, spent a great deal of time at Camp Cherokee with the students and personally installed controllers for on-demand water heat. The hands-on experience for our students was invaluable.

A ribbon cutting event for the new cabins was held at the end of July where the College was presented with a plaque for our dedication and service to the project. I especially want to thank Jason Ghent, Richard Butler, Ed Moore, and the BCT students for all their hard work.
