Rooms, equipment & group responsibilities
What can be set up in our meeting room?
Discuss your setup with our team. Standard options include a lectern, snack table, registration table, DLP projector, screen, marker board/easel and a sound system in applicable rooms. Bring your own laptop and markers. Snacks and coffee service are available for additional charges. Request audio/visual equipment ahead of time; a responsible adult must be trained by Twin Lakes staff before operating it.
Can we decorate or do crafts?
Please do not hold arts and crafts in meeting rooms or on tables intended for those rooms. Tell us in advance and we can provide an appropriate location and tables. Do not tape decorations to painted surfaces or floors. Easy-to-remove tape may be used on rough wood or windows; do not use duct tape. Only Twin Lakes staff may install nails.
What are the expectations for programs and media?
Twin Lakes is dedicated to God and the furtherance of His Kingdom. Worldviews communicated through literature, films, talks, music or other media should be consistent with that purpose. Have secular movies or music approved by an appropriate Twin Lakes staff member. Groups are responsible for any copyright permissions needed for their program. Keep sound at a level that does not disturb other guests.
How should we leave the facilities?
Leave the center in the same or better condition than you found it. Put rubbish in the bins, remove the items you brought, and follow staff instructions. Our team takes care of the remaining routine cleanup.
What supervision is required for youth?
Guests under eighteen must be accompanied by a chaperone at all times. An adult must stay in every room or cabin used by youth, and at least one adult must be present for every ten youth during use of the grounds. Northshore Lodges are intended for families and adult groups; youth or children’s groups do not stay or meet there.
What should we bring for lodging?
For Woodside and Lakeside cabins, bring bedding, towels, toiletries and personal items. Northshore and Milner lodges include linens and equipped kitchens. Bring your own camping equipment for tent stays and ask our team about Outback arrangements. Keep your group’s lodging assignments and emergency contact plan available to its leaders.
