Barton Community College hasn’t had any trouble booking its rural Camp Aldrich facility, at least on weekends, Dean of Administration Mark Dean said recently.A fire in April of 2014 gutted the camp dining hall, necessitating construction of a new building. Since the facility reopened on March 31, 2016, it has again become a popular venue for summer camps, family reunions, weddings and Quinceañera parties.“It’s pretty much booked for 2017,” Dean said, but only on weekends.The fact that the site is being used is welcome news. With the new and improved dining hall, taxes on Camp Aldrich are scheduled to increase from $6,000 a year to $48,000.“We have submitted a tax exemption request to the State of Kansas,” Dean told the BCC Board of Trustees on Feb. 14, when he presented his Camp Aldrich report.Trustees for years voiced frustration that a college facility is taxed at all, but Camp Aldrich has always been a special case.
