Take away the tables and it becomes a lecture hall, an indoor Movie Theater, a worship area, and a rainy day recreation area. Our delicious home-cooked meals are served 3 times a day with plenty of nutritious mealtime options to suit everyone. A large porch offers benches for the best of porch talks. Like many homes, the dining area hosts a lot of action and conversation throughout the day.

Ideal for groups of for 8 to 16 participants, the course is comprised of 18 stations creative thinking. Communication, teamwork, and some physical exertion is needed in order to accomplish the goal of each station. The program emphasizes communication skills and group cooperation rather than individual accomplishment. This program is led by a trained facilitators and all participants must sign an activity waiver in order to participate. This is a weather dependent program.

Penns Creek Pavilion
This three-sided pavilion has six large picnic tables and a covered charcoal grill. It's near Weikert Run and Penns Creek bodies of water. Located next to the Arts and Crafts Center, this pavilion could be used as additional space for any kind of event, family gathering, or church picnic. Ideal for groups of 50 or less.

In the 1930s this long log building was used as the garage for Penns Creek Lodge. Currently five very large craft tables sit where the limousines used to park. This building has lots of space for crafts and other large projects. The local middle school uses it at their "science lab" for their Outdoor Education class. Located next to the Penns Creek Pavilion, this space can be utilized in many ways! This building is not available for use in the late Fall and Winter months.
