Unfortunately I have no pictures to share, but here is reference to an old Boy Scout camp where my troop from Clinton would occasionally have winter campouts in a cabin: History of Camp Iten (1930’s – 1970’s) • 7 miles NW of Maquoketa on Maquoketa River • Land was donated by Joiner Family of Clinton • Because of generous donations by Louis Iten Family, which covered initial construction and development, it was named Camp Iten - Camp originally had tents but was quickly replaced by cabins and a large dining hall • Late 1950’s the camp buildings had deteriorated badly, so a group of men who had served as Seabees during WWII constructed a new 18 by 40 foot building on a concrete slab - It could accommodate 32 campers and the bunks were built by Troop 2 out of Clinton - The building was destroyed by fire 20 years later.
