Camp Re-opening <br />The Camp was re-opened for day camping on July 10, 1988. The re-dedi­ <br />cation ceremony was attended by over 200 people and Included a flag rais­ <br />ing by Charles Lindberg, the sole remaining Iwo Jima flag raising veteran. <br />The re-opening was the culmination of an intensive clean-up and renovation <br />activity that brought the Camp into conformance with Orono requirements <br />and removed all hazardous buildings and conditions. (See attached news <br />article) <br />Demolition and Clean-up <br />A total of 32 of the 43 buildings on the Camp property were demolished <br />and completely buried, burned or hauled away.

The remaining 11 buildings were renovated to approved <br />standards or secured completely pending renovation. In addition, over 200 <br />yards of debris were trucked across the ice to dumpsters during March.
