Dixon Hall is our all-inclusive, year-round conference center. It is designed to have a rustic “outdoors feel,” yet provide all the comforts of home.

GUESTROOMS
There are 15 guestrooms sleeping up to 58 guests. Each room is equipped with its own private bath and shower. Rooms were constructed to minimize noise and provide a good nights sleep.
LOBBY
Enter Dixon Hall and you are welcomed into a climate controlled lobby. There are many sofas and loveseats to relax in, to read a good book or to visit with friends.
DINING ROOM
The dining room is a rustic log cabin with old styled lantern lighting. This beautiful setting can seat up to 200 guests comfortably and makes for an impressive dining room for both casual and formal dining.
CAFE
People like to visit over food and drinks and our café provides just the right setting for that to happen. There are 15 round tables, seating up to 60 guests in our quaint café. Deigned to look like a little coffee house it is the perfect place to just sit and visit or to grab a snack between meals or before bed.
GAME ROOM
What would a retreat be without a place to play? Our game room will meet the needs of both young and old alike. Games such as Ping-Pong, Carpet Ball, Table Shuffleboard, Air Hockey and Foosball are all available to our guests feeling young at heart.
MEETING AREAS
We know that meeting space is an important aspect to guests using our facilities. Therefore, we have tried to make all of our meeting spaces comfortable and well equipped to meet the needs of our guests. Dixon Hall has two specific meeting rooms. The auditorium seats 200 guests and is equipped with a sound system, DVD/VCR, overhead projector and LCD projector. There is also a conference room that will seat 40 guests and is equipped with DVD/VCR, TV and white board. It is a perfect place for a small meeting or 'breakout' classroom/discussion area. (Meeting areas in other buildings may be used for meetings or seminars as available).

Mapleview Lodge will sleep 16 guests in 4 semi-private rooms. This unit is available year-round and has 2 bathrooms and showers. It also has a home style kitchen that is ideal for smaller groups. There is a post and beam great room that will seat up to 40 guests for an all inclusive conference facility. This meeting area includes a TV, VCR, and DVD player. A LCD projector may be available upon request.

We have 2 A-frame cottages, each equipped with electricity and heat for year-round usage, and a private bathroom and shower. Balsam will house up to 8 guests and also comes with a small kitchenette. Balsam is available to pastors and families, who are in full-time Christian ministry, for mid-week getaways on a donation basis. Spruce will house 12 guests and also has an open living room space that can be used for small group meetings.

There are 13 rustic cabins for those who would like a true "summer camp" experience. The rustic cabins have no heat or electricity, and sleep around 12 in each cabin. Showers and bathrooms are both located within close walking distance. The cabins provide a nice camping atmosphere for any age group. The cabins are available during the months of May through September.

PROGRAM CONSULTING
There are many things to do here at Pine Brook. Enjoy Lake Wyola from a canoe, take a hike or bring a mountain bike and enjoy our many backwoods trails. We have a sports shed filled with balls, frisbees and marker cones for you to use to create your own games. Utilize the basketball courts or soccer field or play a round of volleyball or disc golf. Remember, if weather is not on your side many activities can still be fun even in the rain and there is always the game room.

Our qualified staff is here to help you plan your next retreat. Optional programming that is available includes the challenge course, group initiatives, and activities that are custom designed specifically for your group. We are here to serve you so that you will be free to interact with your group and watch God work. Some fees may apply for program planning and some activities such as challenge course and kayaking. These fees help to cover the cost of additional equipment or staff needed.

If you would like to learn more about or staff planning activities for you, please contact the camp office at 413-367-2643 or email us at info@pinebrookcamp.org.

Testimonials

“Pine Brook Camp is a place where God incredibly impacts students. God has used the camp to transform students from apathetic, disinterested teens to believers with a heart and passion to know and serve Jesus Christ. It is a great facility for youth retreats, family retreats, and leadership training events. They have great places to meet and have fun. They have excellent food. Pine Brook uses relationships, quality programming, and strong teaching to clearly communicate the Gospel and disciple students. Pine Brook is a place where many students come to know the Lord and many commit themselves to full-time Christian ministry. I highly recommend Pine Brook for youth retreats and ministry training events. I have been personally blessed by the ministry of Pine Brook. Pine Brook has challenged my heart and has been a great place to build relationships that encourage and challenge me in my faith.

“Our college students have thoroughly enjoyed Pine Brook for our retreats and we have looked forward with anticipation to the completion of the Dixon Hall Conference Center. We are now beginning to plan for an expanded retreat format to help us minister to and with other Fellowship of Christian Athlete Huddles in New England. Many young lives have been touched and changed through our involvement at Pine Brook. The staff are committed servants of the Lord and are wonderful to work with, and their setting and facilities will bring you back again and again.”

“We are so grateful for the impact that Pine Brook has had on our family. The character and leadership development opportunities, in an atmosphere that combines instruction with a whole lot of fun, has played a significant role in our son’s physical and spiritual maturity. The camp has also provided a haven for our entire family and a place where we can serve the Lord together.”
