On a Wednesday night during January, there's usually not much activity at scout camps in Wisconsin. But, last night a fire did $30,000 damage in Summit, WI when a couple storage buildings burned down.

The camp is near Oconomowoc, Wisconsin and has two camps situated on 290 acres. It's one of the oldest camps in the country, being around since 1917.

I expect the loss is not that great, insurance and more volunteer work can take care of replacing the sheds and equipment. The concern I have is that the cause is still under investigation. It would be a shame to find out it was deliberately started.
