Uplifting Experience

Timber and teamwork join forces as the new Class of 1966 Bunkhouse takes shape on Mount Moosilauke.

“This is the epitome of hands-on learning,” says Daniel Jackson ’17, one of 40 students, alumni and instructors—all at different ages and stages of life—who gathered at Mount Moosilauke for a few days in September 2015. Seven were members of the class of 1966. Their task: to cut the connecting joints in more than 100 timbers, then assemble them into the frame for the new Class of 1966 Bunkhouse.
