The Learning Center is where we will eat our group meals. It is located between the Base Camp Bar & Grill and the Family Adventure Park. It is a 3-4 minute drive from the Woodstone Meadows condos.

Lodging

Our whole group will be staying in a set of condos that are close in proximity. The furthest distance between units is less than 500 feet, and all terrain is flat and easy to walk! This should provide a great opportunity to spend time together throughout the week. 

Each condo has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a living area, and laundry access. Each condo building has an elevator. There is ample parking in front of all the buildings.

Meals

You will be on your own for breakfast and lunch in your own accommodations or while you are out and about. There are a number of restaurants on the resort property, as well as local shops & eateries in McGaheysville, which is less than 10 minutes away.

We will gather for dinner Monday-Thursday in the Learning Center that will also function as our evening meeting room. Additionally, we will gather for a welcome breakfast on Monday morning to kick off the week. This meeting space is about a 4 minute drive from our condos. Group meals will be buffet style provided by Massanutten Resort. If you listed specific dietary restrictions in your registration form, those will be accommodated by the catering team.

The Mountain Cruisers Room will be ours for the duration of our stay, all day long, and will be set up with a Kid Zone, family memorabilia displays, and chairs and tables for gathering. We will stay in this space after dinner for our evening activities. The Learning Center is nestled between the Family Adventure Park, the Ski Lodge, and Base Camp Bar & Grill. You can park at any of these locations and walk easily between them. Spend an afternoon at the Family Adventure Park, and you’ll be able to walk right over to dinner!

Evening Program

As we have done in past years, we plan to gather after dinner for some fun and entertaining evenings. Stay tuned for more information!

Yes, we will be doing family t-shirts :)
