Omar's cabin is located on the path that runs past the office and into upper camp. The building is currently used as a staff cabin, although this is just the most recent use of the building.
In the 1980s and the early half of the 1990s, the building was known as the "Upper Shop." The upper shop held the power tools for the woodshop program and was used primarily by Donn Munn and the maintenance staff. By the late 1990s the woodshop program was not being offered as a regular activity. The building was used for tool and equipment storage and other assorted small projects such as working on the plaques.
When the museum was converted to its current incarnation as the woodshop, the upper shop became the recycling building. The summer after Owl's Perch was constructed as a camper cabin, the upper shop was converted to a staff cabin for the Head Counselor. During the conversion, the floor and walls were painted, many old shelves were removed, the building was wired with phone lines, and the power was updated. Since 2001, the cabin has been known as "Omar's" in acknowledgment of the contributions of Omar Moxcey to Birch Rock.
