In addition to a large dining room and a commercial kitchen, the Dining Hall is the home of sleeping rooms, a game room, and our most beautiful views from the wrap-around porch. A perfect “all in one” building for groups of less than 20 or central hub for larger groups.

Multi-functional
The most versatile building on our property, the dining hall can be set up simply as a cafeteria space or it can be used for eating, meeting, and/or worship for smaller groups.
Coffee (and Cocoa)
Camps and retreats may be "rustic" but that doesn't mean we're barbarians! Located in the Dining Hall is a coffee bar that is stocked with coffee, teas, cocoa, and hot water.
Outdoor Amphitheater
Just outside the Dining Hall you will find the Amphitheater. With outdoor seating for 120, the amphitheater boasts views of Bear Lake and open skies, this is a wonderful place to gather for worship, teaching, or an activity.

Bear Lake Camp is able to provide food service for groups of 30 or more.
Guest groups are welcome to provide their own food service and are welcome to use our commercial kitchen for a minimal fee.
For day-only usage, our facilities are available for events that align with our mission (church staff retreats, spiritual formation, ministry banquets, and outdoor worship services are example of single day usages we host. Weddings, family reunions, and birthday or graduation parties are not events we are able to accomodate).
Complimentary WIFI is available in our main buildings.
Enjoy The Tranquility
Bear Lake Camp is blessed to be located on a quiet lake. More than half of the lakefrontage is actually an environmental learning center and therefore we have few neighbors. Sitting on the Dining Hall porch in a rocker with a cup of coffee or hot cocoa will leave you feeling like you’ve stepped into the wilderness!
