A small serving room houses a chest freezer, refrigerator, and serving window for snacks and beverages. Each side of the building is now accessible with a large deck. The building is capable of seating 250 people and is handicap accessible. Our set of 16 pews are available for use at an additional cost.

Love the look of Boyd Hall but don’t need the extra space? Hafer Hall has many of the same features in the fireplace, beams, and porches but with central HVAC and an industrial kitchen for caterer’s use. Hafer Hall can easily seat 100 people and pairs perfectly with an outdoor ceremony at the lake.
Hafer Hall is located at the front of our property with close proximity to our outdoor pool, open fields, and lakefront. Hafer’s attached large deck overlooks the woods and offers a scenic view into the camp.

McKnight Lodge is our most utilized multi use building, ideal for group meetings, retreats, and youth groups. Its three meeting spaces can be used simultaneously or used as break out spaces with easy access to bedrooms and restrooms. The two porches feature rocking chairs and outdoor fans. McKnight Lodge is used often a base of operations for larger events, leadership retreats, or the ideal space for family reunions or one-day workshops. Can be used for day use or overnight stay.
During wedding seasons, McKnight Lodge is in high demand for its multi-use functions. Rented by the weekend, it can easily house a catered rehearsal dinner, sleep 16 guests, and can serve as a space for the bridal party to prepare for the big day, just moments away from either of our ceremony and reception locations.
