What is the progress on the bathhouse?
A community dream, now a reality!
The new bathhouse is open!
After eight years of dreaming, planning, fundraising, and construction, the new bathhouse was enjoyed for the first time during the 33rd Annual Great Blue Heron Music Festival…
This project was made possible by hundreds of community members who purchased commemorative bricks, made donations, and believed in the vision.
Together, our community raised more than $110,000 toward this project, helping bring this long-awaited dream to life:
🧱 $40,000 through personalized bricks
💙 $70,000 through our matching fund campaign
While the bathhouse is complete, we’re still raising funds to help offset the cost of this $333,000 community investment.
Your contribution helps ensure The Heron can continue improving the campground, caring for the land, and creating welcoming spaces for generations to come.
Thank you for helping build the future of The Heron.

Let’s finish this together — for the Heron, for the community, for all the memories yet to come!
This is what community can build.
The spirit of The Heron has always been thousands of people showing up—with their time, generosity, encouragement, and belief in this place.
Together, those small acts became something extraordinary.
The new bathhouse is now open, serving campers, festival-goers, retreat guests, volunteers, and families for years to come. Every brick, every donation, every helping hand helped make this dream a reality.
Thank you for being part of the story.
