Cascara
House
Built in 1984,
Cascara is an ideal place for small
to
medium sized groups to meet. Set on the side of a hill, Cascara
has six
bedrooms, each with four bunk beds, four upstairs, and two
downstairs. It
has a double restroom with shower on each floor, a small
apartment-sized
kitchen and a piano.
This
popular meeting site is ideal for both
day and
overnight committee meetings, staff trainings, planning and church
retreats, small group get-togethers, and small social gatherings.
This
two-story, self-contained, adult and older youth conference lodge is
complete
with six bedrooms, restrooms with showers on two floors, a kitchen,
and a
large meeting/lounging area. Each bedroom accommodates up to four
persons on four bunk beds for a total of 24 persons. The common area
can be set for meetings of up to 30 people. Meals can be provided by
4-H Center staff.
Food
service at Cascara House is available on
request,
but a cost advantage for many overnight groups is the building is
provided
with a small kitchen that allows for groups to prepare their own
meals.
Day groups often ask for coffee service and a luncheon may be
arranged
with the Hospitality Coordinator.
House Rules
Group members may park around Cascara
House to
unload
and load personal gear and equipment. For small groups, parking at
Cascara
House is available. Large groups will find it necessary to park in
the
parking lot and walk up the hill to Cascara. The road behind and
around
Cascara House must be kept clear at all times as a fire road.
The
Cascara House kitchen is available for
your use.
Meal preparation should be no different than you would do at home
in your
own kitchen. Please make sure that you clean up after yourself.
Run the
dishwasher using the posted instructions, wipe down the counters,
sweep
the floor and turn off appliances such as the coffee pots, stove,
oven,
and so forth.
Group members must provide their own bedding
(either
sleeping bags or bed rolls), pillows, towels, toiletries, and
personal
items. The 4-H Center does not have any of these items available.
