Cabins & Meals

Our recently built cabins were designed especially for us – tidy and comfortable with heat and a/c, skylights and ceiling fans, it’s easy to enjoy a good night’s sleep. With their cabin counselor, children establish their own set of community expectations – from shoes off and bunks made to no beans at dinner and 5 minutes “squirelly” time before bed.  

We end each day with a shower in modern, individual bathrooms in the Gathering Barn.  With on-demand hot water and a lock on each door, campers are assured cleanliness, comfort and privacy.

Each week’s menu includes favorites like the taco bar or build your own pasta, with a wide variety of vegetable and protein options arranged so every child is able to find something nutritious to enjoy.  Many children choose to help in the kitchen, preparing the meal, baking bread or creating a dessert alongside our chef. We run a nut-free commercially licensed kitchen and accommodate food allergies and intolerances.
