Sylvan View

Sylvan View Retreat Center is the hub for our family camps: meals, activities, meeting times and even lodging. Sylvan View Retreat Center has 35 private hotel-style rooms. There is plenty of space to enjoy conversation around the fire or enjoy the fresh mountain air on our elevated deck. 


Campground

Nestled alongside Mountainview Lake, our Campground boasts 38 sites all within a short walk of the bathhouse. Camp Hebron has primitive & electric hookup tent sites, as well as sites for your trailer or RV. The campground is a five minute walk away from daily Family Camp activities, including meals at Sylvan View Dining Hall. 


Breezewood Cabins

The Breezewood Cabins are only available during Family Camp I. Each cabin has a private bathroom and can sleep up to 11. Reserve one of our rustic cabins for your entire family. The Breezewood Cabins are a five minute walk away from most Family Camp activities, including meals at Sylvan View Dining Hall.
