TOUR THE CAMPGROUNDS

We will provide in-person tours of Heartland Center prior to camp on March 3 at 1pm, April 21 at noon, and July 21 at 2pm.

We hope that this opportunity will be a helpful resource for each first-time and returning camper to peek at his or her cabin, get a glimpse into where the magic will take place, receive answers to questions, and decrease worries and uncertainties about the new experience. Our Lead Staff will facilitate a tour of the campgrounds. Campers will have the opportunity to peek in a few cabins and check out the dining hall, swimming pool, and other activities on the grounds. The tour will include a lot of walking.

Can't make an in-person tour? Visit Heartland Center's website to browse photos of the retreat center's facilities and grounds.
