Responding to camper complaints about draftiness and general lack of upkeep, the Sand Pond Society adopted Waterfront Lodge in the Spring of 2011. The existing board-and-batten siding was covered over with newly sawn rustic siding. Two old windows were replaced, as was the electrical wiring throughout the cabin. The interior is being improved using new pine paneling, and the ceiling is being painted. By bringing together a team of motivated carpenters and electricians, providing $3,000 worth of materials, and strong leadership, the Sand Pond Society has turned the worst cabin in camp into the best cabin in camp.
In 2010, the Sand Pond Society joined the Weboree to replace the totem poles that welcome Scouts to camp near the camp office. The former totem poles were carved by Scouter Dave Dion in the mid 90s and have been featured in countless photos since then.
In 2010, the Sand Pond Society joined with Troop 53, Fair Lawn NJ, to raise funds for materials and equipment to replace the flagpole on the parade grounds near the quartermaster building. The existing 40' steel flagpole was erected 50+ years ago and was dedicated in memory of Nils Martinson, a Scout from Fair Lawn. 
The Sand Pond Society (SPS) forged a partnership between the BSA, the NJ Landscape Contractors Association and the NJ Chapter of the Land Improvement Contractors of America. 16 contractor firms, 4 suppliers, and SPS volunteers pitched in for a massive work weekend. Most of the contractors brought at least one piece of heavy machinery. Technical support was also provided by the Ruffed Grouse Society and PSE&G.
We’ve drastically improved safety in camp by cutting down 70 very dangerous hazard trees in the last 3 years. 25 of those were considered high-risk due to proximity to cabins and power lines. Our gratitude to Mammoth Tree Service of Long Valley, NJ.
Van Dusen Lodge and Ho-Ho-Kus Lodge both feature massive fieldstone fireplaces. Both fireplaces had multiple structural cracks that required immediate repair. Van Dusen's firebox was missing a large stone, and was no longer safe to operate.
SPS members interviewed potential contractors at the camp and gathered proposals in 2007 and 2008. Selected proposals were then recommended to the BSA for funding. In order to leverage the BSA's funds, the contractors' proposals were drawn up assuming that volunteers would handle certain demolition or unskilled work.
The former bridge over the Jacksonburg Creek near Price Lodge was poorly designed and flooded serveral times each year. The Sand Pond Society (SPS) arranged for a significant discount on new concrete culverts, saving the Council $7000. SPS then coordinated additional donations (e.g. crane, etc.) and volunteered well over 200 man hours of labor to assist with the installation of the new bridge. The resulting bridge will last through many generations.
Donated by Jack and Lillian Rosenberg, this faciltiy was built in 1962. Originally purposed as a Jewish Chapel, the building fell into disrepair after being unused for 25-30 years.
