As the seasons change, so do some of the activities at Camp (e.g. the lake or slip-in-slide might not be as enticing), but we’ve added some great new options for the Winter Camp Getaways to help make up for it, including the following.
- Soft seating has been added in the cabins where you can read a book or just relax.
- Meals will be slightly tweaked based on your feedback. Pizza pick-up dinner on Friday evening and brunch on Sunday! Keep reading for more info.
Will the tube run be open?
Weather permitting, we have several great outdoor winter activities to keep the whole family happy. From a FUN tube run, to sledding, to cross country skiing (equipment available), we’ve got you covered for an active winter weekend.
You’ll find instructions in your cabin for self-guided activities to help you and your family connect more deeply with the world around you. We are also offering select staff-guided activities.

What are people saying about their Getaway experience?
We felt that Camp did a great job of establishing safety measures and setting the tone of physical distancing needed to make us feel comfortable and to allow for lots of fun activities. We were very glad our kids, who would usually get to be at Camp for a week of summer camp, were able to spend time at Camp. We also very much appreciated the family time, spent in nature. And, so many days into the pandemic, with a lot of time together in the house, it was good to have a different environment and different activities. Thank you!
We honestly give everything 5 stars. I feel like you all thought of everything we needed and then you added some extra things like S’mores, and trail maps in the cabins and delicious desserts that we didn’t even know we needed.
We really appreciated all the amazing activities – the toboggan slide, the diving board and water slide, the canoes/kayaks, and the amazing food and nightly fires — that we were able to enjoy without feeling over-crowded or otherwise concerned about social distancing. It was a real luxury to be able to get away in this way.
Our family loved not having to worry about coordinating cooking or cleaning. For the introverts, the ability to vacation without any worries AND without any required socializing was perfect. We also enjoyed having our own campfire to sing around and roast s’mores on.
Great chance to relax in a beautiful setting, and it felt like such a safe way to see friends.
