Keppler Lodge

Keppler Lodge is a little outside of central camp but is connected by a service road. Constructed in 1953 by the scouts of the Netawotwes Scout District, this lodge remains the most popular in camp. It commemorates the life of Homer Keppler who was the first Silver Beaver Scout in McKinley District and also served as a Camp Tuscazoar staffer in his day. This lodge was the Camp Nature Lodge when Tuscazoar was an official Scout summer camp. It has a large fireplace and a large wood burning stove, as well as a sink and refrigerator. The doorway leads into the sleeping area and a porch, not visible here, overlooks the river valley and Dover Dam. Keppler Lodge will easily sleep about 25 people. There is a new latrine in the field above the cabin.

Maximum occupancy:  24

  

Troop 5 Cabin

Troop 5 Cabin was built in 1920 on a terrace above Gist's Sring near Old Campsite. The cabin was disassembled and moved to its present site in 1933. Constructed almost entirely from wood of Camp Tuscazoar, Troop 5 Cabin resembles the cabins of nearby historic Schoenbrunn Village, and has recently undergone a complete restoration. By far the oldest cabin in camp, it is very popular with smaller groups.
