Recreation In and Around Huston
 


The Huston Center setting provides for relaxation, outdoor recreation, comfortable meeting areas and a variety of lodging accommodations. Forest and lawns give a feeling of seclusion and quietness. Choices of accommodations allow groups to meet varying budgets. Conference season begins in September and ends in June to make way for our summer camp program. The Center can be shared with other groups or rented for exclusive use. Homemade meals are served family-style, prepared in our kitchen. Huston Center can hold groups as small as ten, and as large as 150 in a variety of accommodations.

Recreation In and Around Huston




Huston Center offers a wide variety of recreational opportunities to conference guests. Trails on the 60-acre campus allow for walks during breaks alongside the Wallace River or through beautiful forest. Fields and equipment are available for volleyball, softball, basketball, and soccer. A campfire circle provides space for roasting marshmallows and gathering 'round a fire. Many guests take advantage of our proximity to Wallace Falls State Park, and spend an afternoon hiking to the top.






Other area hikes are available for those with more time. The Huston staff can help you discover these hikes. Huston's location just 40 miles from
Stevens Pass makes us an excellent choice for ski retreats.
