Camp
Glen GrayBenedict Lodge

Benedict Lodge is located up the hill
overlooking the lake. The cabin consists of a large room
with 24 bunks and a kitchen area. There are two smaller
rooms each with two bunks in it. The cabin has a wood stove
for heat and a four burner stove top for cooking. The cabin also has
electricity and lighting.
With its many windows and white interior,
Benedict is a bright, cheery cabin. From its "front
yard" you have a perfect view of Lake Vreeland as you
cook marshmallows over your campfire.
Benedict Lodge is named after Kim Benedict,
who was the Commander of the American Legion Post in Caldwell.
He lost his thumb during the construction of the cabin about
1940. The American Legion Post sponsord Boy Scout Troop 3 in
Caldwell (now sponsored by the Caldwell United Methodist
Church), and built the cabin for the troop.
