Lodging - Main Camp
Dormitory-style lodging is perfect for chaperoning students at appropriate ratios. All cabins have modern bathroom facilities and are temperature controlled. Many have comfortable lounges, porches and fireplaces to encourage the kind of socializing that fosters solid friendships. All beds are bunk beds.
Cabin sizes and layouts vary, but hold from 16-32 people. Cabin assignments and availability will vary depending on the size and number of other groups using Camp Lakewood during the time of your request.

Lodging - East Camp
East Camp is an exclusive area that your group can enjoy with it’s own recreational activities such as a basketball court, tetherball poles, a pavilion, kitchen area, bathhouse, and a sand volleyball court.
Dormitory-style non-temperature controlled cabins are rustic yet comfortable, and provide an opportunity for your group to have that bonding experience you are looking for. Groups must bring a minimum of 50 people to get exclusive rights to East Camp.
