Our new Conference Center is perfect for your group retreat, planning session, team building and special outdoor education programs.

Our retreat Conference Center seats up to 60 people and has an attached bathroom available for attendees. We love how recent renovations turned out and know you will enjoy the ample seating, tables, and place to get away in between fun yet tiring camp activities.

The conference room is perfect for small groups who are seeking to get away for planning and strategizing during their time at the camp. If the kids need a quiet place to read, the Conference Center would also be the perfect place for them to go. You can also get creative and use the conference room for a camp counselor dessert party or a place for counselors to gather and relax after the young campers have all gone to sleep.

If alcoholic beverages will be served, five (5) requirements must be met:

Please go to https://lcb.wa.gov/licensing/special-licenses-and-permits to apply for permits or licenses. Please be aware you need to complete this process well in advance of your event.
