These are the shelters offered at Rock Creek Girls camp, they were very nice. They were super insolated, even after a full day of 92 degrees, it was approx. 62 inside, and down right cold at night (when we left the windows open.)

We held our Family reunion in the Rock Camp located about 20 miles east of Ashton, ID. The turnout was not as large as we had hoped, over 175 family members were not able to attend due to either a job and/or gas prices. Never-the-less we had a good turnout thanks to some super ladies and men that were able to put it together. The A frame houses were a blessing in more ways then one, a, it saved setting up tents, they stayed cool all day even with it 90 degrees out, and there was no air conditoning there. If you wanted you were only 57 miles away from the National Yellowstone park, so that could be taken in on the same trip. The bad thing was that there were so many mosquitoes out, it was impossible to stick out the whole time we planned. I've lived in the midwest, south, and north, never ever have I saw a mess of them as bad as this. We cut the stay a day short (everyone did), and packed up and went home. On child there was so bit that his eyes swoll shut. But anyways, I got to meet a lot of great people I've not seen in a very long long time. Including one special cousin, Barb....... Hope all get to view this nad keep for future memories.
Wow looked like there was some fun times there, always a plus when you can get family together and everyone has a good time, thanks for sharing the memories Eddie
