Retreats & Rentals
The Betsy-Jeff Penn 4H Educational
Center provides an ideal retreat space for those groups
who are seeking a natural respite from the world.
Retreats may be centered around religious, familial,
corporate or professional gatherings.
Modern facilities include two
classrooms spaces, a large multipurpose meeting room, a
spacious recreation hall, and all
the necessary accoutrements, from tables and chairs to
audio-visual equipment.
Eight heated cabins, with modest, community sleeping
spaces, and adequate bathroom space each accommodate up
to 24 individuals, for a grand total of
192 beds on site.
Family-style meals in the dining hall assist in creating
community amongst retreat-goers. More importantly,
Penn's kitchen staff will satisfy the culinary desires
of the group, allowing participants to carry on their
own programs and business without concerns for such
logistical details.
Pricing worksheets are available
for both
adult rental
groups and
youth retreats,
to help determine eventual costs for any potential
visit.
A
campus map
and
floor plans
may also help in planning your event.
We'd love to show you more
pictures of happy retreat-goers on site, but we feel it
is our job to supply the accommodations and fill a
group's needs, rather than stick our nose in their
business with cameras, etc.
Of course, some groups want to add
a bit of Penn's own programming into their visit.
Most often this is some version of the
Soaring Thru Spaces
program, including the
teambuilding, high ropes and character development
challenges. While most of our efforts in this
program are spent with middle school and high school
students, it has also been quite successful over the
years with numerous collegiate groups and corporate
groups.
Collaboration with the newly
re-opened
Chinqua-Penn
Plantation (just over
the hill from BJP's campus) can also be arranged in
order to more fully meet the needs of your group.
Chinqua-Penn offers both museum tours and further
meeting space.
