Existing improvements include a picnic shelter, 3 adirondacks, rustic lodge, picnic tables, play field and outdoor stage with bleacher seats. The property is highly threatened due to the fact that James River has declared the property surplus, including the camp. Camp Currie provides the only active day-use/overnight group camping facility in Clark County. The site serves thousands of children each year. This project will protect and preserve the camping opportunities, as well as expand recreational use of the site. Adjoining properties include 164 acres owned by the Columbia Land Trust.
