Lodging

Wilderness Camp


41.2266° N, 75.2676° W

The Wilderness Camp area offers lodging ideal for youth and young adult groups. It is also a favorite among family groups. Beautiful nature surrounds you here, with a pretty spring-fed pond, a nearby mountain stream, and ball field with awesome views of the night sky.

Outdoor recreation at our Wilderness Camp includes a basketball/volleyball court, swings and a gaga (dodge ball) court. The ball field is nearby, great for large group games such as soccer or ultimate frisbee.

Lodging is sturdy with a casual appeal. Linens, pillows and towels are not provided in any of the Wilderness Camp facilities. This area is easily accessible from the Retreat Center via the one-mile Wilderness Road or by a pleasant 1/2-mile walk along the Ruffed Grouse Trail.

This area is used by our Wilderness Summer Camp program from early June to mid-August, as well as Ignite Youth Retreats on select dates in February and March. It is available for group retreats during the rest of the year.

Woodside Bathhouse

This large bathhouse offers plenty of shower and lavatory space. There is informal meeting and lounge space downstairs, and a small restroom. Typically, guests lodging in Hillside and Brookside Cabins will have access to this facility.

The Pavilion

The Pavilion at Wilderness Camp is a great group-gathering facility with casual flexibility and rustic appeal. This four-season structure is well heated for the fall and winter months, with the flexibility of an open air environment during the summer.  The meeting area can be arranged for eating at picnic tables or for games and activities. The large adjoining commercial kitchen is ideal for preparing group meals for up to 100 people. Guests lodging in the Barn or Hillside/Brookside cabins often reserve the Pavilion for meeting and dining space.
