A cozy place to sit and hang out. We have several couches, a fireplace, and work stations to plug in your laptop and work away. The lobby also houses our Front Desk and our Coffee Bar/Tuck Shop.

This is where all guests and campers eat! Everything here is served “cafeteria style”, and our kitchen is great at accommodating allergies and other dietary needs. There is a coffee and tea station, as well as a guest snack area which has a guest fridge, microwave, and vending machines which are stocked with chips, chocolate, candy, and pop.

Our chapel has a beautiful view of the lake and tons of natural light. This room is equipped with a projector with HDMI hookup, and an analogue sound board and speakers which makes it great for accommodating bands, movies, presentations, and other media.

Our RV sites are located on the East side of our property behind the Bluebird Cottages. Each site has 15 Watt power and well water hookups, a picnic bench, and a firepit.

RV sites are available to rent as an accommodation through regular group bookings. They are not available to be used as a public campground.

Our zipline is about 40 feet tall, giving you an amazing view of our property and the lake beyond. Participants are fitted with harnesses and helmets, then clipped into the ladder as they climb to the top. Once there, a staff member clips their trolly to the zipline and they’re ready to glide across the field towards the lake!
