Accomodations
Silver Lake Camp offers fifty rustic, all-wood cabins. Each cabin is furnished with a double bed and two sets of bunk beds, dressers and chairs. The beds have mattresses but you will need to bring your own bedding or sleeping bags. The cabins have electric lights and outlets powered by a generator. Please be sure to bring flashlights and plenty of batteries. If you use a sleep apnea machine, you will need to bring a battery pack for it.
*NOTE: The generator will be TURNED OFF at night.
We recommend you bring warm bedding or sleeping bags, as the nights can be quite cool. You will also need pillows, bed linen, towels, and toiletries. Cribs are not available, but you are welcome to bring your own for small children. Bed rails for the bunk beds are available from the Camp office. A modern, centrally-located bathhouse provides hot showers and laundry facilities. The camp receives its water from a spring, so water conservation is encouraged. A pay phone for campers’ use is conveniently located outside the Camp Office.
Conveniences
Silver Lake Camp has a small store in the Lodge with soft drinks, ice, postcards, stamps, toiletries, snacks, shirts, and other supplies. Hours are posted when it is open.
A Camp Nurse is available to take care of bumps, bruises, and scrapes. The medic is prepared to handle most emergency situations.
Meals
Your stay at Silver Lake Camp includes three meals prepared each day by our kitchen staff. Breakfast will be Continental on most days. Lunch and dinner always include a salad bar. Those campers planning to be away from camp during the day may request a sack lunch which will be available at breakfast. Sack lunch requests must be made during dinner the night before.
Enjoy your meals in our rustic lodge or outside on the patio. There are a limited number of high chairs and booster seats available for small children.
Activites
During Family Camp your family and friends can enjoy a variety of recreational and social activities. Take part in our weekly Variety Show, presented by and for the Campers. Enjoy a sing-along or skits around the campfire. There will also be hikes and activities for kids and adults during the day. We are planning a new and exciting program for Family Camp, including events such as Little Bit Olympics, Camp Fire Tales, Races, Archery, Volleyball, Variety Shows, Bingo, Karaoke, and more. Adult Crafts will also be available behind the Lodge.
If you prefer, you can plan your own adventures. There are many hiking trails within a short distance of camp, swimming or fishing at the lake, or simply relaxing under the trees or enjoying a walk through one of the wildflower-filled meadows near the camp.
Silver Lake Chapel
Those who wish to attend Sunday services will love the Silver Lake Chapel, located between Plasse’s meadow and the lake. It offers a stunning view of Thunder Mountain and Silver Lake as a backdrop for services. Protestant services are held at 10:00AM, Catholic Mass at noon.
