My group had a wonderful weekend at the camp. Everyone really loved the surroundings and the buildings.

The Barton Center is available for rental to outside groups on a limited basis during the fall, winter and spring. It is the perfect rural setting for a weekend retreat, youth program, family reunion, mid-week conference – or even a unique wedding. Click Here to See Picture Gallery.

Located on the site of the Clara Barton Birthplace Museum, and overlooking a lovely country pond, the George H. and Marie P. Chabot Health & Education Center, Fuller Dining Hall and our cabins, offer a warm, rustic, and very desirable place for private or corporate gatherings.

Groups of up to 150 can be accommodated in various locations. The Health & Education Center's bedroom wing sleeps up to 53 (in 14 pine-paneled rooms). The winterized lodges have the capacity for 15-19 beds each or can be used as additional meeting space.
