Lakeside Retreats Retreat Centers
Let Lakeside Retreats host your next group meeting, retreat, training camp, reunion, or off-site event.
With multiple rustic properties in several states, all on beautiful lakes, we have the perfect
Lakeside Retreat for you.
Why Lakeside Retreats? A variety of retreats means the right site for your group.
With several properties from which to choose, our experts can match you up with the best
property for your specific needs. A football or soccer training camp would be best suited at
Winadu, with its 12 fields and extensive weight room, while a team-building retreat might
be better suited at Mah-Kee-Nac with its more extensive ropes course. Many of our properties
have highly specialized facilities that can be used for varying purposes. The Gymnastics Center
at Danbee, for example, has a 1,764-square-foot competition spring floor... just the ticket
for the many martial arts and dance groups that have joined us there. Take a look through The
Retreats section to see what we have to offer... but if you don't see what you are looking for be
sure to call us... we are likely have it somewhere on our combined 800+ acres.
Great locations for retreats
With Lakeside Retreats you can be close to home – we have properties located within a 3-hour-drive
from the metro areas of New York, Boston, Detroit, and Chicago – or you can retreat farther away.
Our array of properties offers groups the ability to go to a place that's convenient or "exotic" (or both).
Some groups who return year after year choose the same property - like a home away from home. Others
love offering their members variety and trying all our different properties.
Affordable Retreats
With all-inclusive pricing and packages for our rustic dining and lodging facilities, Lakeside Retreats
is very affordable. Our affordability is an advantage for groups on a budget, for groups who wish to
put their dollars towards special programs and activities, and for groups who have members from a wide
array of financial backgrounds.
Our retreats offer great value for the money.
Rustic is often is a codeword for "run-down" but not at Lakeside Retreats. Our lodgings are simple,
clean, group-oriented cabins (some private housing also available) and our food is healthy and hearty
fare. We put our money into our state-of-the-art sporting facilities and into the upkeep of our land and
lakes. While you might not get a mint on your pillow at night (although we could arrange that if it's
important to you), what you will get is an invaluable environment – fresh air, beautiful lake and
mountain vistas, gorgeous wooded acreage, and the best outdoor facilities around – as well as our
personalized service (see below).
A customized retreat experience with personalized follow-through.
No cookie cutters here. At Lakeside Retreats your experience is customized. Need a facilitator for
a ropes course day? No problem. How about a lifeguard for swimming? We got 'em. Let us know what you
need and we will arrange it, supervise it, and make sure it is the way you want it. Remember the name
Sean – you'll get to know him well!
The Lakeside Retreats Story
Ever have an "ah-ha" moment? Well, we did when someone once said to us "This place is gorgeous – it's
a shame it's only available to kids for 7 weeks out of the year." That's when Lakeside Retreats was born.
All the Lakeside Retreats properties operate as children's resident summer camps in July and August.
Don't be afraid of that! Our camps are recognized as some of the best facilities and programs
in the industry. We are active leaders in the American Camping Association and other key industry
organizations. Our camp philosophy is completely in sync with the core business values at Lakeside:
we respect the environment and are committed to personalized attention, state-of-the-art facilities,
safety, and learning. Some advantages of our camp experience that we bring to Lakeside Retreats:
A caring, professional staff
A stable of experts in facilitation and team-building
Continually updated state-of-the-art facilities
Understanding of groups and team dynamics
Nutritious fare
