Notes to answerer
Asker: The author separates the 2 words, that's why I didn't find the translation. And I didn't think that maybe they could be a signle word.

rifugio


Explanation:
The translation for "bunk house" would be "dormitorio"; but, since the context is a Summer camp, I would rather say "rifugio".
