The boardwalk brings the east and west areas of camp closer together, and opens access to the grounds south of Trout Lake. Construction of the boardwalk was accomplished entirely by volunteers. Work began in summer 2019 and was finished in the early fall. This was the first major project completed at Deerfoot Blue Ridge.

The tree houses in the Mountaineer section (ages 15 & 16) are located in the forest above the recreation field and provide a unique camp experience for Deerfoot's oldest residential age group.

Four tree houses were complete for the camp's opening in summer 2019, each with a capacity of five campers and one counselor. The construction of this section is being done exclusively by volunteers. We still have a remaining funding and construction need for six additional tree houses to accommodate a full complement of 50 campers in this section.

The recreation field is the focal point for large-scale athletic activities at Deerfoot Blue Ridge. A bath house at the south end of the recreation field serves the sporting area and the Mountaineer section up the hill.

The amphitheater has semi-circular rows of Deerfoot-style wooden benches for full-camp assemblies. The construction of this area was a volunteer project.

The lean-tos in the Pioneer section (ages 13 & 14) are walled on three sides and screened on the fourth. We have completed all five planned lean-tos, each with a capacity of ten campers and two counselors.

The lean-to supports and platforms were built by Deerfoot's general contractor, while the base structures were assembled on site by a mix of Deerfoot volunteers and the contractor. Volunteers finished the lean-tos by constructing the roofs, and adding stairs, handrails, bunks, and screening.

The Kunz Lodge houses support staff (maintenance & kitchen) during Deerfoot's summer camp season, and volunteers and special programs during the off season. It is a year-around facility that has a sleeping capacity of about 34 to accommodate volunteer groups and venues of various sizes.

The downstairs features a fireplace, kitchen, indoor seating areas, and a wide porch to enjoy the outdoors. Most of the bunk beds for overnighting are located upstairs with a central bathroom.

The structure has already proven its worth as a flexible base for a variety of purposes.

The cabins in the Woodsmen section (ages 9 to 12) are identical to the cabin style for younger aged campers at Deerfoot-Adirondack. We have erected four regular-sized cabins and two smaller cabins at Deerfoot Blue Ridge for a total capacity of 50 Woodsmen per session.

The cabin supports and platforms were built by the general contractor, and the base log structures were assembled on site by members of the Deerfoot community. Volunteers finished the cabins by constructing the roofs, and adding stairs, handrails, bunks, and screening.

The Barnett Health Center is housed in the property's previous central building. The facility includes a reception area, examination rooms, isolation rooms for overnight patients, and laundry.

When constructed, the Steve Mayer Lodge will be the centerpiece of Deerfoot Blue Ridge. The building will house a large commercial kitchen and dining rooms for campers and their counselors, support staff, and volunteers.

The construction of this structure will truly be a "very heavy lift," with this being the costliest build at Deerfoot Blue Ridge. Since the camp's opening in summer 2019, a commercial-grade portable kitchen, covered grill, modular refrigerator and freezer, and large dining tent have made up Deerfoot's food service facilities.

If Deerfoot receives sufficient donations and pledges by April 30, 2021, we anticipate construction of the Steve Mayer Lodge to begin in August 2021 and for the facility to be ready in time for the 2022 camp season.
