Our beautiful forest and scenic reservoir is a great setting for reflection, team building, learning and relaxation.  We can accommodate up to 130 guests in our seven all-season buildings, and another 50 in primitive seasonal longhouses used for summer camp.  See our facilities in more detail  or download our facilities brochure.

Makemie Woods also offers programming to help you make the most of your retreat experience--consider adding a flight on the ziplines, boating, archery or seeing the stars through the Brinton Observatory.

Makemie Woods offers a great summer camping program for kids entering first grade through Sr Hi. This awesome quality program is affordable, and financial assistance is available.  Our "summer of service" program in 2011 was terrific, with many parents and campers telling us about how their lives have been affected and changed by the camp experience.
