Our Facilities
The peaceful 66 acre campus is known to many as the former Statehouse Lake YCC (Youth Conservation Camp) Camp. The main lodge, campfire ring, amphitheater, beach and sauna house all rest on the pristine shores of  Statehouse Lake and look out to the nearby bog and forested trails. The main lodge has a separate men's and women's shower facility. Our kitchen is fully equipped to handle groups up to 100.
A brightly colored tree stands guard over the bunkhouses.
Our cabins rest comfortably on a beautiful fall day. Commercial stoves, dishwasher, walk-in-cooler, freezers and all the utensils area available for your group's needs. Presently, we do not have a kitchen staff, so groups need to provide their own cook or we can help arrange catering options.

Further back, our 11 rustic bunkhouses, office building, center store, recreation field and classroom area, provide space for just about any group looking to experience the privacy and historic feel of a conservation camp. The cabins are available for overnight accommodation for church and youth groups, for groups participating in our programs, or in association with group use of the lodge and other on-site facilities. They sleep up to 12 adults. Presently, our cabins are only available during warm weather months. Cabins are not available for individual rental. Please call for prices, availability and other information.
