FAMILIES
Time spent with family members at Rock-E House & Basecamp is more than a vacation; it is a renewal. Rock-E House & Basecamp provides an ideal setting to regain perspective and to achieve balance for another year of growth. We design custom programs for every season to bring families together in the splendor of the High Peaks Wilderness. Experiential retreats are designed around glamping trips, wilderness programs, farm stays, and design and build programs. Please contact us to begin planning your renewal today.
PROGRAMS
Farm Stay Programs
Take in the season by staying and dining with us at the Eileen Rockefeller House on Round Lake.
