Camp de Benneville Pines Craig's Cabin

We've Come A Long Way, Baby!

No one can deny that Craig's Cabin is a beautiful building. Camp de Benneville is so fortunate to have had the volunteer dollars and volunteer worker hours to build an upgraded meeting/sleeping facility. Lee Wright of the Long Beach UU Church donated the majority of the money, and many other supporters have made donations which collectively total over $50,000. The cabin is named in honor of Lee's son, Craig, whose life is memorialized in our beautiful new building.

Craig's Cabin provides more luxurious accommodations for Camp de Benneville program participant. In addition, the cabin is available for rent as a self contained program site. It will sleep up to 25 people in the 9 bedrooms. There are three bathrooms each with showers and one has handicap facilities. There is a meeting room with a fireplace, adjacent to the kitchen/dining area. A TV with VCR allows viewing video cassettes. If you have not been to Camp deBenneville Pines for several years you are in for a real treat when you stay in Craig's Cabin.

The new rustic furniture has been acquired from a local furniture company which custom makes each piece in Big Bear. The chairs and tables are in the theme of rustic log furniture which is so popular these days. Comfortable seat cushions coordinate with the window coverings. Susan Pierce, a long-time camp supporter and professional wall decorator, has volunteered her time and created a border of Ponderosa pine cones/boughs on the kitchen wall and over the East and West entrances. She trained volunteers to personalize the bedrooms and create additional decorations for each room. Click here to download a floor plan of the cabin.
