Conference Center at Fairview Lake YMCA

Welcome to the Fairview Lake YMCA Conference Center located in the beautiful New Jersey Skylands. The center is nestled at the base of the Kittatinny Mountains adjoining the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. With 600 acres of unspoiled woodlands, a 110 acre lake, running streams and open fields, nature provides an unparalleled backdrop for the year-round Conference Center and its activities.

Fairview Lake YMCA Conference Center offers an alternative to traditional conference centers with a casual atmosphere and comfortable setting. It is an ideal environment for everyone to spend quality, fun time together, and where leaders can discuss important life issues that both challenge and excite members of your group.

Whatever your needs or interests, we are certain that our professional staff will ensure a quality experience for you and your group. They will assist you with setting up a retreat schedule so you will accomplish your goals, and can augment your programs with recreational, team building, nature and colonial life skills (candle making, apple cidering).

Fairview Lake is host to countless corporate, educational, religious, scouts, YMCA and support groups...as well as groups of friends and families. Here is what one recent retreat planner had to say of the Fairview Lake experience, "We do a lot to plan this trip and make it work. But we know that it would not be memorable if not for the cooperation, enthusiasm and the expertise that you and your staff invest in us! We appreciate that."

So bring your group and your agenda and let the natural setting and our staff assist you in making your stay a valuable, fun, productive and memorable one.

Programs and activities: Archery, Riflery, Boating, Canoeing, Swimming, Night hikes, Campfires, Cross country skiing, Ice fishing, Arts and crafts, Nature walks, Team building, Climbing wall, High and low ropes courses. Our athletic fields, basketball courts, sand volleyball court, tennis courts, in-line skating rink and hiking trails are always available for your use.

For more information or a tour of our facilities please call our Conference Director, Jennie Griffin, at 1-800-686-1166
