Guest Policies

In order to ensure a positive experience for all, our guests will be held responsible for observing the following policies:

  1. No smoking is permitted in any building, in the woods, or on the trails. Stronghold provides a smoke free environment in all buildings. Those who smoke should be conscious and courteous of the comfort and well being of non-smokers. Please use outside receptacles for disposal of smoking materials.
  2. The use of alcoholic beverages and/or illegal drugs on the grounds or in Stronghold's facilities is prohibited. Evidence of use by individuals or groups will result in expulsion from the grounds and cancellation of the contract. No refunds will be issued.
  3. Possession of firearms, hunting, or trapping on Stronghold property is prohibited.
  4. Quiet Time will be observed after 11:00 pm. Retreat and conference programs often include recreational time. However, hours of rest for all guests and staff are essential. At 11:00 pm, all guests are expected to be in their own facilities. Any exception must be negotiated in advance. Stronghold reserves the right to cancel the visit of groups in residence without notice in the event of late night disturbance. No refunds will be issued.
  5. Entry or exit through windows or via rooftops is prohibited except in an emergency.
  6. Candles are not to be used without prior approval. If you plan to use candles as part of your program, please contact the Guest Services Manager prior to your arrival at Stronghold.
  7. Pets are not allowed in any of Stronghold's facilities for the health and safety of all guests. Assistance animals are allowed and must be registered with the host. Pets are allowed in the family camp area but must be kept quiet and tied or leashed at all times.
  8. Damages to buildings and/or equipment will be charged to the group responsible based on material and labor cost for repairs or replacement.
  9. Groups renting Stronghold are assumed to have their own insurance coverage. Proof of insurance will be requested at time of contract.
