Camp Koehler was a 240-bed Level I work/medical camp located adjacent to Kinross Correctional Facility and was under there administration. Camp Koehler, which opened in 1988, included the Housing unit, a relatively new administration building, and an attached new Food Service building. The Administrative Building housed the offices of the Camp Assistant Deputy Warden and secretary and a visiting room which also functioned as a programming center. Approximately one quarter mile away was a building which housed the offices of Maintenance and Public Works departments.
