Camp Glen Gray

Benedict 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.

Benedict Cabin is located just a short walk across the road from the Gilwell leantos and cabin.

Benedict Lodge is sponsored by Troop 6, West Orange NJ
