Significance: Kiwanis Lodge is a log structure constructed from local materials and representing a distinctive method of construction. The uneven ends of the wall logs are unique in this area. Kiwanis Lodge retains integrity of location, use, design, materials and workmanship, with tool and scribe marks still evident on the structure which may yield important construction information. Kiwanis Lodge is part of Yakima Valley Council of Camp Fire's Camp Roganunda. This camp is one of the first organizations to take advantage of forest recreation opportunities offered by the Forest Service in the 1920's. It has been in continual use by the same permittee since it was started in 1923. It is recognized by the American Camping Association as one of the oldest organization camps in the country.
