At Enchanted Hills Camp, our campers come from all over the state to participate in our fun, challenging and community-forming environment. To provide such an adventure we specialize in hiring and training our program staff to encourage independence and blindness training in accomplishing many things at camp.

Whether it is learning the skills to build a campfire, hiking through the woods, cooking by using a solar oven, fishing on the lake or hitting a bulls-eye on the archery target, our program will involve campers in activities that open the imagination and build the skills that school. Many of our staff are former campers who know what it means to get the most out of camp. They have a strong love and passion for making each summer the best summer ever.

This summer we promise to continue the most loved traditional camp activities but campers will also have the opportunity to participate in some newly designed team building and low rope activities taught by a specialized instructor hired specifically to run the program. Also for those willing to try their hands at marksmanship, we’ve brought back avid outdoorsmen Charles and Jonathan to run our riflery program. We have added a new geodesic dome space for our nature programs. A generous donor has replaced a few of our paddle boats for the lake. And for the first time we now have an outdoor stage to host musical performances, talent shows and presentations. The newly designed Redwood Grove Theatre is not to be missed.

For several years, the Mosaic Project’s Brian Lowe and Lara Mendel have been running week-long sessions for fourth and fifth-graders at Enchanted Hills Retreat. The Mosaic Project’s Outdoor School builds self-esteem and com­mu­nity in the beau­ti­ful, nat­ural set­ting of Enchanted Hills, and through these sessions the children “begin to rec­og­nize their com­mon­al­i­ties and gain respect and appre­ci­a­tion for the unique­ness of all indi­vid­u­als, includ­ing them­selves.” Read more about the Outdoor School program at:  http://www.mosaicproject.org/aboutus/ourprograms/outdoor/.

We celebrate the Mosaic Project’s worthy work and were delighted when Brian and Lara decided to hold their own wedding at Enchanted Hills. Brian said, “When it came time to choose a place for our wedding, we thought the Enchanted Hills site would be a perfect place to hold a weekend long celebration. The photo below captures some of that atmosphere.”

You too can hold your wedding at Enchanted Hills! Our retreat can also be used for family reunions, yoga workshops, spiritual retreats, horse campers, company off-site meetings or seminars. With a playing field and playground, it’s a great location for groups with children, but the romance and grandeur of the setting also lends itself to a beautiful wedding.
