A: Guests may park and drive pretty much anywhere on the property. The only place vehicles cannot be on is the septic field located in the main field outside the lodge. This is always marked off for guests to be aware of.

A: All rental groups are responsible for their own supplies, decorations, food, sleeping equipment, etc. The only items we provide are access to the property, first aid supplies, and basic toiletries in the bathrooms.

The Cedar Lake Outdoor Center is available for leasing during our shoulder seasons on either side of the Michigan OUT-of-DOORS Youth Camp. These seasons usually run from late April through mid-June and mid-August through mid-October. We are able to host school groups, weddings, festivals, etc.
There are few dates/weekends available each year, so rentals are approved on a first come, first serve basis. We do our best to accommodate and have as much days/weekends available that we can. However, our primary use for the facility is our Youth Camp, so that always comes first.
