Private Rentals at Our Campus
Our property is tucked away in the scenic Upper Delaware River Valley and Pocono Mountains foothills. Our campus is surrounded by a 1,300-acre forest, and is only a stone’s throw from Calkins Creek. Located in Boyds Mills–10 miles from Honesdale, Pennsylvania–you’ll find cabins nestled among the trees, a lodge at the top of a small hill, and the Barn at the center of it all. We’re only 2.5 hours from New York City and 3 hours from Philadelphia.
