People don't live in these tents in the winter, so at the end of the summer season, the tents are 'secured', meaning that any windows are boarded up, anything that shouldn't be frozen is taken back to the dome, and generally the tents are cleaned up. After 8 months of blowing snow, Summer Camp takes a while to dig out in prearation for the influx of summer people.
Machines work for the large-scale efforts, but shovels are needed closer to the buildings.
