Accommodation
Students are housed in several different cabins, which are used during the summer for Camp Chewonki. Bathrooms are not located in the cabins, but are a short walk away. Students get a cot as well as a few shelves to put their belongings on, and all cabins are equipped with wood-burning stoves, which cabinmates get to learn how to use. Anywhere from 5-9 students live in the cabins together. Cabins are also each given "cabin parents," who are there to make sure things run smoothly in the cabins.
Cabins currently used for girls include Gordy Hall ("Gordy"), Orchard House ("Orchard"), Pete Gillies ("Gillies"), and Ranch House ("Ranch"). Cabins currently used for boys include South Hall ("SoHo"), and Binnacle. Various cabins have switched the genders they hold in the time since Chewonki's founding, and will likely do so in the future.
