Joe's is the building and general area where Campcraft is held. It is located at the bottom of the hill on the lake, near the swim tent.
Joe's is usually bustling with people all four periods and both General Swims. There are multiple fire pits at Joe's so cabins use it for cabin night. When MWA comes back second session they often stay at Joe's for the last days of camp. The exact construction date of it is currently unknown, but some believe it was most likely built in 1929 when the Fish Hatchery and the Woodshop (originally the nature building) were built. However it does not appear on a map of campus from 1936 which has been lost somewhere in the Library, but it has been argued that it may not have been a real "structure" until the early 40's.
The current location of Joe's is farther removed from the lake than the original location. The lean-to was moved in 2000 to allow for better access to the waterfront for removing and installing of the catwalks and because it was knocked almost over by a backhoe that a maintenance man was driving. The rocks from the original foundation can still be seen on the ground in front of the current building. When the building was moved, a platform floor was added.
