• Wickapeck Lodge sleeps 50 people.  This cozy lodge, one of the original farmhouses on the property, has three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs; two bedrooms, a bathroom and a large living room with a fireplace downstairs plus a dormitory wing with 20 beds and two bathrooms.   
  
  Units are separated on our grounds by wooded areas permitting simultaneous use by several small groups.  Each cabin has an
   indoor bathroom with flush toilets and hot showers.  Due to the design of the buildings, coed groups can be easily accommodated.  The cabins have thermostatically controlled gas furnaces, electric lights and outlets plus smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and fire extinguishers.
  

Food Service

• Our meals are prepared by skilled cooks and bakers adding a home cooked taste to every meal.  
  The food service director prepares balanced menus and provides ample portions to satisfy the heartiest appetite.   Many meals feature home-made soups and salad bars.  
  
• Fresh fruit is available for breakfast and lunch, and vegetarian options are provided at every meal.
  
• Meals are traditionally served family style with students eating as a cabin group. 
• Students take turns to wait the tables, learning to take on the responsibility of serving their classmates.
  
• Our Food Service Director, Don Sienkiewicz, is available to discuss food allergies.  We are able to accommodate most student's needs and in, partnership with teachers and parents, we ensure each and every student's dietary needs are met.
  
• We appreciate being notified of any food allergies or special dietary needs prior to student’s arrival.
