A larger cabin building, ‘The Academy’, sleeps 22 and contains two cabins separated by a large central gathering room as well as two single occupancy private rooms. If both cabins in the building are booked together, you will receive access to both the central gathering room and the two private rooms. Ideal for larger groups or multiple families looking to share a building. It can be booked by contacting our office at jon@sparrowlakecamp.com before registering.

Cabins 11-13 are situated around a large central outdoor gathering space. These three cabins share a fire pit, and are also ideal for large groups.

Bring your own bedding, pillows, sleeping bags. There is only one electrical outlet so a power bar with a long cord is an essential if you want to charge anything.

Parents are responsible for their children at all times, with the exception of those registered in morning childcare sessions. Children may not be left alone in cabins at night, unless parents are within earshot at an adjacent campfire area.

  • We ask that anyone being in the vicinity of sleeping cabins after 10pm keep noise to an absolute minimum. The basketball courts will also be closed at this time. Groups who repeatedly make excessive noise at night and disturb others may be asked to leave. If you anticipate that your group will be loud, play music, etc. around the fire at night, you can request a more remote campfire area where these activities will not disturb others, however these fire areas are limited.
