Whether a school, scout group, corporate retreat or community group, after you've spent an exciting day at YMCA Camp Bernie, stay overnight in one of our all weather cabins. With over 50 activities to choose from, sometimes a one day trip isn't enough, consider extending your trip and staying with us one night or more! Hike the trails, explore new heights on the climbing tower and soar over the skies on our zipline. Stay overnight and get to experience some of our exclusive night activities like Glow Swing, Discover the Night, Campfires and more.
Whether you're aiming to break the ice with your group, strengthen your team, challenge yourself with new activities, or learn a fresh skill, there's something for everyone. Most of our challenge elements encourage collaboration, fostering confidence, personal growth, and team bonding.
Program activities are defaulted for 90 minute blocks for groups of about 15 participants. Activity block periods and group sizes may be adjusted based on the needs of the group. *Please Note* adjustments to group sizes and activity length could affect the availability of certain activities and the number of participants that can successfully complete an activity. Activity availability is subject to change based on weather and safety conditions.
The cornerstone of our retreat and bonding experience are ASE classes. These combine portable activities and stationary ones within the woods— both of which are facilitated and debriefed by our instructors here. Our staff provide personal experiences tailored you your group’s skill, ability, and overall goal.
Groups that stay overnight will be assigned to lodge in our cabins. Cabins are all-weather with the exception of our Village of Rustic Cabins. Groups will be assigned to cabins based off of the size of their party. Lodging can be requested, specific requests are not guaranteed but will be taken under consideration.
If requesting additional cabins outside of your group capacity, additional charges may incur
