Oregon's Stronghold castle cancels summer camp, plans to open for rentals

Danny Pierce is the executive director of Stronghold Camp and Retreat Center in Oregon, which had decided not to hold summer camp this year. That will be a major financial blow to the nonprofit, which is drafting rules for renting its facilities and is looking for donations and for volunteers to help maintain the grounds.

Stronghold Castle, built between 1928 and 1930, has been a retreat center since 1963. Normally, the center would be busy this time of year, but because of the shutdown, many of the buildings are shuttered and the power is off to save money. (Michael Krabbenhoeft)
