The Retreat Center is the place for you, with two meeting rooms outfitted with a kitchen, restrooms and a group-sized outdoor grill.


There are also two cabins that sleep six each and a 16-room motel plus a dorm that sleeps 40 (20 per side). The pavilion and picnic area are also equipped with grills.
