Cabins
For groups who prefer indoor lodging, Cary Camp offers three cabins suitable for cooler weather, trainings, and retreats. – **Tecumseh Lodge** – Our largest facility, ideal for large groups and trainings, with sleeping areas, meeting space, and a kitchen. – **Shawnee Cabin** – A comfortable cabin with restroom and shower facilities, overlooking a scenic ravine. – **Sioux Cabin** – A more rustic option with electricity, heat, and nearby restroom access. Each cabin includes nearby trails and a dedicated fire ring.
Campsites
Our five primary campsites give groups their own space while keeping them connected to the rest of camp. Each campsite includes: – Picnic tables under a permanent shelter – Running water (seasonal) – Sanitary facilities – A flagpole and fire ring Campsites are spaced for privacy and are connected by trails. Some vehicle access is available for unloading when conditions allow.
