Housing
The bulk of our sleeping capacity is comprised of dorm style (bunk bed) sleeping accommodations located in Deer Run Lodge or separate cabins. These cabin and dorm rooms accommodate between 12 and 20 persons each, and all bathroom facilities are located within the rooms. A total of 12 private rooms (complete with linens) are available upon request and at an additional fee.
Total winterized capacity is approximatelty 220 people. During the non-winter months our capacity is approximately 300 people, as we are able to fully utilize the non-winterized cabins of our facility. Use these floor plans as a general guideline. Sometimes we have multiple groups using the facilities, so please work with The Conference Director to determine available housing options.
All participants, in the non-private rooms, should provide their own bed linens, towels and pillows. If not using a sleeping bag, standard size twin sheets will fit our bunk bed mattresses. If guest speakers or other persons will be traveling by plane or are otherwise unable to pack linens, please let us know; we will do our best to accommodate on an individual basis.
