The decor of the cabins is very warm and welcoming. Each cabin has its unique layout. We can fit a family of 8 in one of our spacious cabins or fit two people in one of our smaller, yet cozy cabins. The two types of cabins are: Deluxe - These are the cabins that have an extra sitting room and sometimes a fireplace. You still have separate bedrooms and bathrooms. Standard - These are the cabins that have separate bedrooms and bathrooms. There is not a separate sitting area, but there is still a small sitting area with a futon in each room. |
| Kids' Program: | We have an incredible program for the little ones up to 10 years old., then we have a jr. high program for 10 - 13 year olds, and then a high school program for young adults for 14 - 18 year olds. We have the best counselors that not only work the program, they take individual care for each of the children and young adults. The staff is the kind of young adults that you want your Kids to not only hang out with, but look up too. These programs go are daily from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. There will be a lot of free time for the children to spend with their families in the afternoons and evenings. The opportunity is offered for parents to leave the children in the care of the counselors if they desire to go Horseback riding, go rafting or play golf as part of our scheduled activities. |
| Food/Dining: | Three meals will be provided each day and they will be outstanding. The food will pass all of your expectations. We do fib a bit and mention that it is impossible to gain weight at this high elevation. If you have special dietary needs, please call the office and we will have a special menu ready for your stay. We also offer a separate Kids menu nightly for those little ones who need mac and cheese, chicken fingers, etc. |
