Facilities & Food Service

 We take great pride in our buildings and grounds and participants always remark on the excellence of our facilities. Located in a beautiful spot, nearly 600 acres atop a 1,200 ft tall mountain, our property boasts spectacular views and extensive hiking trails. The campus and our friendly staff create an atmosphere that makes it “home-away-from-home”.

 Cabins & Bathhouses

In 2005, we completed a major facilities upgrade by constructing twenty-four new log cabins and two large bathhouses with showers, toilets and sinks. The cabins are fully winterized with electricity. The bathhouses are conveniently located and provide plenty of room and privacy for even the largest groups. There are four Cabin Villages which contain six cabins each. Every cabin sleeps up to fourteen people in beautiful hand-crafted pine bunk-beds.

Food Service
Traditional camp cuisine is served buffet-style in our cozy Dining Hall. The healthy and delicious menu includes a salad bar and vegetarian options. Our kitchen is peanut-free and friendly, professional food service staff will work to accommodate special dietary needs when informed ahead of time. We cater to special requests and offer a ‘corporate’ pricing scheme for additional menu options. Meals can be served in the Wigwam or Bynden Wood for special events.
 Meeting Space
The Wigwam, Bynden Wood Lodge and the Dining Hall are gorgeous multi-use spaces that can accommodate groups of 200 comfortably in variety set-ups. The Wigwam and Bynden Wood Lodge provide charming settings for lectures, meetings or parties.
The Wigwam has beautiful hardwood floors, a stage, and a large stone fireplace that makes the large space inviting. Bathrooms and additional meeting space is located in the lower level of the building.
The historic Bynden Wood Lodge dates back to the 1800s when a ‘grand hotel’ stood on the property. It is undergoing a ‘facelift’ and will be unveiled as a premier gathering place in the fall of 2010. Bynden Wood Lodge offers hardwood floors throughout, a fireplace in the large meeting space and in the smaller ‘breakout’ room (both easily accessible on the first floor). Renovated bathrooms are also located on the first floor. On the lower level of the building is another small meeting space.
Our camp Dining Hall, which boasts hardwood floors and a large stone fireplace, can be converted to a place for breakout meeting space and large evening programs when meals are not being served.
