Cabins
Cozy Camp Home
Groups have their choice of cabins around our camp: Main cabins, Back cabins and Ranch cabins.
Main Cabins
These 13 buildings are closest to Pettigrew Dining Hall. Each Summer Cabin houses 12 people. These cabins do not have connected bathrooms/ showers but are a short walk to our modern shower houses and bathrooms. These cabins have A/C and heat.
Back Cabins
These six buildings house two cabins each. The cabins share a porch and connect via a door inside the cabin. Guests may lock their doors from either side. Our winter cabins house 28 people (14 on each side) and have bathroom/shower facilities within the cabin. These cabins have A/C and heat.
Ranch Cabins
These three cabins, near our Equestrian Center, can accommodate 36 people and are a short walk from our Chuck Wagon meeting space, which houses the bathroom and shower facilities.
