Buildings

Ford awarded four grants to Camp Baker in the 1990's.The hall has a max occupancy of 360 people as noted by a Fire Marshal certificate at the entrance. There are two alcoves on either side of the main hall and several bathrooms near the kitchen. On one side of the building is a large ramp leading from the parade grounds to a small hall in the building where food is served.
