Why Trailside?

Trailside Chapel & Retreat Center is a safe haven for young people, adults, and families to get away and enjoy exciting outdoor adventures.  It’s also a time to experience God’s goodness, community bonding and of course, enjoy some home-style hospitality.

We are a faith-based nonprofit organization with a heartbeat to help disadvantaged youth. Funds raised through your stay go towards providing an awesome camp experience at a discounted or free rate for these youth.
