Anderson Lodge is perfect for a school staff or student retreat!  Arvid and Vicki Anderson, the owners of Anderson Lodge, are retired teachers and make sure their facility is equipped with all the features that would make a school retreat successful. The natural setting and homey atmosphere will enhance any program choice. Teachers appreciate the full array of activities on site, small and large group meeting areas and the quality sleeping rooms. Kids love the many options for having fun!
 Bathroom, kitchen, conference room and dining areas are well suited to large gatherings.
Both the Hilltop House and the Main Lodge have wonderful sleeping areas. You aren’t roughing it at all! The Main Lodge has beds for 40 – 60 guests. The Hilltop House has beds for 30, (12 double beds and 6 single beds). Our school groups are welcome to utilize our conference rooms as alternate dorm rooms with sleeping bags if they wish. We aim to please!
Catering is available at both the Main Lodge and the Hilltop House. Or, you can choose to do your own cooking. We offer buffet, full service or even sack lunch meals. Special School District catering prices are available to school district student groups. Our caterers are in direct contact with you to arrange for menus and mealtimes. Adult school district catering meals are also very reasonable in price. The kitchens are well equipped and the dining areas are large enough for your whole group. Groups renting in warmer weather often can be seen at the barbecue or roasting hot dogs in the outdoor amphitheater.
Speaking of that outdoor amphitheater, that is just one of the amenities at Anderson Lodge. Picture a stage with circular tiered seating around it, with a fire pit in the middle. That’s our amphitheater! It’s great for charades, skits, sing-a-longs, and yes, even s’mores! Both facilities have ping-pong and pool tables, pianos and TV’s with DVD. The Main Lodge has 2 saunas that are for group use. The Hilltop also has a game table in the recreation room.
Anderson Lodge is located on over 90 acres of forestland. There are hiking trails throughout the area. In addition to hiking, we have softball and soccer fields, children’s play areas, horseshoe pits and volleyball and badminton areas. Our spacious pavilions surrounded by forest, seat over 100 people and are perfect for large group experiences. Our son would never forgive us if we did not have a basketball hoop! The tennis courts are another popular spot for many lodge guests. The opportunities for fun are endless!
 Many times retreats require both large and small group meeting areas. You will find our conference rooms and our newly constructed pavilions ideal for large group presentations. Conference rooms are fully carpeted, equipped with conference tables and plenty of space. There are many options for break out sessions for smaller groups. We only rent to one group at a time so you are not competing with any other group for a particular room. Of course, all our facilities have pianos and guitars to further enrich your experience.
No matter where you are, you will be immediately impressed with the fine attention to detail and quality craftsmanship of Anderson Lodge. You will be amazed at the beautiful woodworking at all the facilities. We strive to make Anderson Lodge have a comforting, home-like atmosphere. We hope guests feel at ease and free from the interruptions of school and work. The gracious homespun surroundings allow for interactions and togetherness that make retreats so memorable. 
 What kinds of retreats are held at Anderson Lodge? We are very popular for Leadership Retreats, Choir, Orchestra and Band Retreats, Language Camps, Science or geology workshops, Peer Counseling Trainings, Staff inservices, and Outdoor School Camps. Whether it is a student group or an adult group, your experience at Anderson Lodge is bound to be a success! There’s nothing like the togetherness of a retreat to fill your organization with commitment and help them become closer as a group.
The Andersons are offering special discounted prices for school district student retreats that are held on weekdays, Sunday through Thursday, September through June. This student discount is for lodging and for catering. Don’t forget the Lelooska Native American Cultural Center is just a few minutes away.

Hiking in the Ape Caves is one of our favorite activities. Winter groups often time take time out to play in the snow on Mt. St. Helens. No matter what the season, the natural setting and homey atmosphere at Anderson Lodge will enhance any retreat!
