Facilities
Founded in 1956 our camp sits on 49 acres in Eldora, Iowa and is a testimony to God's wonderful creation. We are blessed to border Pine Lake State Park, with its 50-acre lower and 69-acre upper lakes. Throughout the spring, summer and fall we hold camps and retreats to provide rest, encouragement and strength to those who attend. Each building is uniquely designed so that our guests experience a rustic setting while having many amenities from home. The variety of lodging attracts groups from those who prefer the hotel style rooms at Parr Lodge to those who like the starlit skies with no electricity.

Cabins, Parr Lodge, and Solitude are all located approximately 45 minutes west of Waterloo, IA., and borders Pine Lake State Park, with boating, fishing and hiking opportunities.
