The Boat House is the home to the various boating programs at Birch Rock. The building is in the southwest corner of camp, closest to the corner of camp defined by the waterfront and the Plate property.
The current Boat House was dedicated in 2004. It is a two-story building, with the lower level being used primarily for waterfront activities and the upper level for rainy day activities, rainy Opening Day Name Games, and movie nights. The lower level of the boat house is where life-jackets, sails, paddles, and various other boating items are kept for waterfront activities.
The original Boat House was much smaller than the current building and closer to the waterfront. The building was about the size of a typical Lower Camp cabin, with the side of the building facing the Plate property being open. It was located about forty feet closer to the waterfront than the current building. The new Boat House was a major undertaking to build. The concrete foundation has a line in it from when the second concrete truck was late because it got stuck in mud on the way. The foundation was tared by Doug Miller and Ryno. The framing went up quickly and the building was finished by Turn-over Day. For the opening, a ribbon cutting ceremony was held and Tibetan prayer flags were hung by David Weeks.
