RememberSchiff 3712 Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 “Everything in camp is now powered by solar,†said Robert Nakagawa, executive director for the Maui chapter of the organization in a press release announcement. “The camp went solar to not only save money and be environmentally friendly, but, to also be a model for our sustainability merit badge and other programs we have.†The annual savings will help Maui County Council to maintain a professional staff person on the island when its capacity building grant expires. Camp Maluhia has 16 cabins that can sleep 230 people. While it is a Boy Scout property, the camp is used more by the general public as a community resource, than by the scouts. It is occupied 60% annually and 95% of weekends throughout the year with peak season running from May to July. http://mauinow.com/2015/03/18/camp-maluhia-goes-solar-425k-savings-expected-over-20-years/ Wonder if I could get the PLC to schedule a camping trip there? Meanwhile, waiting for the warm sunshine here. Link to post Share on other sites
