FAQ’s

Q. What is the minimum number of people required to reserve a weekend?

A. Due to the size of our facility, we require a minimum of 75 people to reserve a weekend. There are occasions where we can accommodate a second smaller group. Contact our weekend director with any questions.

Q. How old does a child have to be to participate in the activities?

A. We allow parents to choose whether or not their child is ready for an activity or not. Our general guidelines are 5 years old for most of our activities.

Q. Can parents participate in our activities?

A. Our program is designed to encourage parents and children to interact in the activities. Therefore, we allow our parents to participate alongside the children. The exception is horseback, where parents are encouraged to walk alongside the horse to lead them but are not allowed to ride.

Q. Are meals available?

A. Yes. We have an on-site staff that prepares all of our meals. We are available to prepare meals from Dinner Friday night through Lunch on Sunday. Meals may be selected from our menu the week prior to your arrival. The number of meals you choose is reflected on your price. Our kitchen facilities are not available for use by the group.

Q. Does your facility have meeting areas?

A. We have an upstairs meeting area called the Top of the O’Dome. This facility has room for over 300 people. Seating is not provided, although we have chairs and tables available for use. We also have an outdoor chapel site that can seat over 300 people. We do not have smaller indoor meeting rooms. 

Q. Do we have access to sound/ video equipment?

A. In the Top of the O’Dome, we have a DVD player, VCR, and satellite television that are connected to a mounted projector. This room is also equipped with theatre-quality sound. This is ideal for movies or instructional films. If you would like access to portable sound equipment, please contact our weekend director.

Q. What are the accommodations?

A. There are 26 cabins containing either 7 or 8 bunk beds, which equates to 14-16 beds per cabin (400 beds total). The cabins are grouped in clusters of either 2 or 4 cabins with a shared bathhouse. Each cabin is equipped with air conditioning as well as heat for your comfort.

Q. What should I bring with me?

A. The most important items are bedding and toiletries. We do not provide linens for the beds or towels for the bathhouses. We also recommend bringing a flashlight, rain gear, and a second pair of shoes. Please note that our site does not always receive very good cell phone reception, although many service providers get adequate reception.

Q. How much does a weekend cost?

A. Please contact our weekend director or request a brochure for our latest pricing information.
