We came to Camp Eder for a weekend youth retreat. The Tree of Peace Lodge was perfect for our group of about 16. The food was a real highlight (most of it was homemade)! I can't say enough about the camp staff- they were very friendly and went out of their way to make it a great weekend for us!

We enjoyed our visit today. Food was good and so were the pies. We enjoyed the part where they were making cider. Very good stuff. They had a lil caterpillar ride for the kids and the big kids. Loved it... Also, Mercy Run sang and it's always a pleasure to hear them sing. It was a beautiful day for the festivities... Thank you all for such a great time.

I’ve come here to help with outdoor school and there couldn’t be a better place to have it! The staff from Eder are incredible, helpful and friendly and they make it such a nice experience- anything I need they lend a hand- very positive energy- the environment couldn’t be better, we are able to use the creek, the side of the mountain, the paths along the creek, gathering areas, it’s a real privilege to share the experience at Eder, a real collaboration of community-so glad the opportunity came about, I can’t wait to be there for maple madness!

Mariah is truly amazing! My daughter has a soy allergy and she worked with us on every detail. Soy is in everything so it's an impossible task that she made happen. She coordinated with her chef Thad who was also unbelievable!! They had lists of all ingredients and pictures of everything. Never did we feel like we were an inconvenience or a nuisance. We were able to talk to the chef when got there so we felt completely at ease. They had someone checking her food everyday and made her feel extremely comfortable. She had an amazing time! I highly recommend camp Eder!!

Loved learning about maple tapping, food, eh... not so much. Do yourself a favor, skip the pancake breakfast if it's being offered!!!
