Township's master plan favors low-impact access and interpretation of Camp Security
Summary
Springettsbury Township's approved master plan favors walking trails, signage, a boardwalk overlook, limited amenities, and continued archaeological programming; public feedback ranged from leaving the site untouched to building an interpretive center.
John summarized the township-approved master plan for Camp Security, which emphasizes low-impact visitor amenities such as walking trails, restrooms, pavilions and a boardwalk that would lead visitors to an overlook of the lower field where the stockade once stood. He said consultants solicited resident input; respondents favored interpreting the site and limited recreational uses over high-impact development.
The plan also calls for continued archaeological programming and, in its more ambitious form, some curatorial space for artifact storage and display. John said there is no firm schedule for development and that future excavation seasons are expected to be seasonal (spring or fall) rather than summer, but he could not provide a firm timeline for construction or master-plan implementation.
