The location sits by the water and provides easy access to the lake and surrounding nature. Visitors should prepare for changing weather and wear sturdy footwear since the property spreads across different outdoor areas.
The facility supports families with limited means through a fund that can cover between 25 and 100 percent of participation costs. This enables many children to attend who would otherwise lack the opportunity.
