The Outdoor Center at Camp Mason is open from late August to mid June and can offer a variety of programs to suit your needs. Whether you are looking for a location to hold a conference, have scout campout or a community teambuilding retreat, Camp Mason is the place for you.
We offer comfortable dormitory style cabins and lodges that sleep 6 to 14 in a room. Most of our cabins are duplex units and all are winterized with bathrooms in the cabins. Hillside and Spruce Lodge are larger modern dorm style buildings that hold up to 48 people for groups wanting to be all under one roof. Spruce Lodge is separate from the main campus and has its own large meeting space and a service kitchen. We also have many breakout and meeting spaces throughout camp.
The Dining Hall offers complete, scrumptious buffet style meals. Salad bars come with lunch and dinner, while a cereal bar augments breakfast meals so that no one goes away hungry. If you're a group with dietary needs, talk to us, and we can work with you.
The Camp Mason staff is happy to offer recreation program options to fill time in between meetings or to design a full service recreation or teambuilding program that will make your groups visit a wonderful experience. Don't forget winter! We are open year round and have a great sledding hill.
