W. Alton Jones Campus



Escape to the serenity of the W. Alton Jones Campus Environmental Education Center. Surround yourself with tranquil forests; gather your thoughts, or just pinecones. Spring wildflowers, summer barbecues, fall foliage, or winters by the fireplace, every season awaits you.



The Environmental Education Center facilities are available year-round for groups to rent. Availability is primarily on weekends, as well as weekdays at certain times of the year. Youth and adult groups of all ages use the Center’s meeting rooms and cabins for conferences, retreats, religious functions, trainings, group building,class reunions and corporate barbecues. Meals and audiovisual equipment are provided.



The wood and glass main lodge delivers comfort with two fieldstone fireplaces, functionality with meeting rooms and breakout spaces and the dining hall, which draws your group together for feasts. Cozy cabins for overnight accommodations, winterized for year round use, feature pine bunks and indoor lavatories with hot showers.



Recreational activities abound at the Environmental Education Center. Follow a map of hiking trails, paddle a canoe on Lake Eisenhower or just sit back and take in the beauty around you. Learn from a small-group session of Team Building. Enjoy a game of sand volleyball, cheer on your team in softball, or relax in a game of bocce ball or horseshoes. In the evening, gather round the campfire, or cozy up to a welcoming fireplace with friends.
