Main Camp Facilities
Centrally located in the "Main" part of camp, Main Camp facilities include the Retreat Center and five cabins. Each of these facilities, typically lodging youth camper groups of sixteen youth and two counselors, provide indoor bathrooms, carpeted floors, and bunk beds. Unless otherwise noted, Main Camp is home for all of our programs.
Outpost Village Facilities
Looking for a camp with a bit more adventure and challenge? Our four outpost village programs, with their outdoor setting and fun mix of classic camp activities, may be your solution. The rustic settings, small-group program design, and outdoor cooking make for a fun and creative camp experience.
Counselors and campers work together to cook their meals over a fire or camp stove at their village kitchen. Each village is within a 5-minute walk of Main Camp and consists of bunk-style beds, an outdoor kitchen, and a campfire ring. Since the villages do not have electricity or hot water, campers shower at Main Camp.
The four villages are
- Tree House Village
- Covered Wagon Village
- Tepee Village
- Log Cabin Village
