WELCOME TO MOLALLA RETREAT
We consider Molalla Retreat a blessing from the Lord and pray that you too are blessed and refreshed by your time here. We urge you to tour the facilities before your camp date, so that you are informed about the buildings and grounds. Please call or email to set a tour time. Below are some rules, guidelines, and information.
Please make sure your entire group is aware of these items:

BEDDING and PERSONAL ITEMS: Bring your own toiletries, towel, pillow, and bedding/sleeping bag.

BBQ GRILL: Both the Small Group Facility and the Lodge have propane BBQ grills. Propane is provided.

BREAKAGE: Report any breakage or problems to the manager. Groups may be held financially responsible for damages caused to camp property.

CAMPFIRES: Campfires are allowed, in designated rings, if a burn ban is not in effect. Please check with the manager before starting a campfire. The campfire must be extinguished by 10pm.

CANDLES: We prefer candles not be used. If it is necessary, the candles must be completely contained in glass holders.

CHECK-IN: 4PM CHECK-OUT: 2PM Early arrival and/or late departure may be available but must be cleared in advance. Hourly fee applies.

CLEANING FEE: The cleaning fee for the Lodge is $250 and $50 per space in the Small Group Facility buildings (5spaces total). Groups are asked to tidy-up any outside areas used (put all sports equipment away, return items to their rightful location, etc.), bring all used dishes to kitchen, check bunk areas for personal items and prop mattresses up, wipe down tables and chairs in meeting space and return to rack or closet.
Groups doing their own food service must clean the kitchen, following posted protocol, prior to departure. Failure to do so will result in an additional cleaning fee.

CRAFTS: If your group is planning on crafts/projects, we ask that you bring supplies to cover any work area so there is no damage.

CURFEW: Due to a county imposed 10pm outdoor noise ordinance we enforce a 10pm outdoor curfew. This includes the sport court, game room, campfire area, and the decks of all buildings. Groups are asked to take their activities in doors at that time.
