Lower Camp
Renting the lower camp includes the four "dorm cabins," Sequoia, Godetia, Limosa and Macoma as well as the use of the kitchen and dining room. Each cabin has four rooms and each room contains a queen bed and two single beds in the form of a bunk.
The rooms do not come with linens, bedding, towels or pillows. If it is inconvenient or impossible for you to supply your own bedding and linens we have a small supply that we will rent to you for a nominal fee. You should arrange for this at the time of booking.
The lower camp is typically rented, on weekends, to various college groups, church retreats and workshops. Thus, the lower camp cabins tend to be in short supply on weekends. The family cabins (Capella, Vanessa and Lonicera) are more available for weekend use.
