Facilities
Dining
Hall
Our Dining Hall seats 200 people at tables of 10. With all wood framing and a stone fireplace, it is the quintessential camp Dining Hall. Food is served family style from our Amish kitchen staff. We think you will agree with us when we say that our food far exceeds the typical “camp food” in its quality. No one will leave hungry! Our kitchen is also prepared to handle any special dietary needs as long as we know in advance.
Our cabins are divided into a boys and girls village. The girls village has 8 cabins that each sleep 14 and one that sleeps 16. There is also an additional cabin on the girls side that is typically used by chaperones and/or staff that sleeps 4. The boys side has 5 cabins that each sleep 14 and one that sleeps 12. There is also a cabin on the boys side that is typically used by chaperones and/or staff which sleeps 8. The cabins are heated and have bunk beds and mattresses. Each village has its own bathroom and shower house. The showers have curtains or stalls for privacy.
We also have a staff cabin available for school and/or group staff that come to camp. It has a kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and back porch. The staff cabin can sleep 14 and gives adults a private place separate from the students. It is connected to our Health Lodge, which has two beds and a bathroom of it's own, along with a fully stocked Nurse's Station.
