PROGRAM FIELDS

Camp Sheldrick is known for its open field space not just for tenting but for program and activities spaces. With over 53 acres available for all sorts of program needs our field spaces are managed and groomed regulaly. We even have field space that we designate as insect research areas. These areas are left for putrefy and other flying insects to help re pollinate farmer fields around us. These fields are typically only groomed 2 times a year.

Our 2 smaller pavilions 14’ x 16’ one is at our North end of the field along the South Nation River and out second one along the creek in a forested area are great for small meeting planning or break out spaces.

KYBOs

These washrooms are as close to off grid as you can get, other than the bare necessities and a leaf. The kybos have two stalls per unit, and are currently the only two on site, with more to come. These well maintained kybo's are just a reminder of why we love the great outdoors.
