Shower House:

Exterior Access:
Ramps: Concrete ramps are provided on both sides of the shower house. Ramp height is approximately 6 inches at the upper landing.
Pathways: Sidewalks leading to the entrances are standard width.
Entrance Configuration: A wall is positioned immediately adjacent to the doorway, creating a potentially restrictive turning radius for mobility device users. This may impede access for wheelchairs, scooters, and some rollators.
Exterior Shower Facilities:
Each side of the building includes two outdoor spigot‑style showers.
These fixtures are not designed for accessible use and do not include grab bars, privacy accommodations, or accessible controls.
Interior Shower Area:
Total Stalls: Four indoor shower stalls.
“Accessible” Stall: One stall is slightly larger and labeled as accessible; however, it is not usable by wheelchair or scooter users due to:
Doorway width that does not meet accessibility standards (confirmed by camp maintenance).
Angled shower door that further restricts maneuverability.
Absence of properly installed grab bars (confirmed by camp maintenance).
General Access: The doorway leading into the shower area is too narrow for most mobility devices.
Sinks:
Three stainless‑steel sinks are installed at a lower height, approximately 30 inches from the ground (hip height).
While the height may benefit some users, the sinks do not appear to meet accessibility requirements for knee clearance or approach space.
Toilet Stalls:
Total Stalls: Three toilet stalls—two standard‑size stalls and one slightly larger stall.
Grab Bars: No grab bars are installed in any stall.
Stall Access: The entry to the larger stall is not wide enough to accommodate most mobility devices, limiting its functional accessibility.

We will have ADA compliant porta johns available.
