Camp Facilities

Two villages feature 18 all-season cabins, staff housing, an open air pavilion and male and female wash house. Each cabin has its own restroom with sink, toilet and shower and is equipped with 6 bunk beds to sleep 12 individuals. The large open-air pavilion located in each village is great for use in inclement weather, night-time activities and small group picnics. The South Village sleeps 120 and the North Village sleeps 96.

We have 18 cabins that can be used all year as there is heat in each cabin.
