Art Studios, A Country Store,
Quiet Places and Wagon Rides
There are LOTS of fun things to do
at Green Lake Conference Center!
Troster Art Studios
At Troster Art Studios, you can work on your own or get
personal instruction in ceramics, china decorating, jewelry
making (cutting and setting semi-precious gemstones or
crafting jewelry with beads) and stained glass. Open in the
summer.
Padelford Country Store
Our quaint Country Store is notorious for its penny candy:
mini Tootsie® Rolls in flavors of root beer, strawberry
lemonade, green apple, blue raspberry, cherry, grape, fruit
punch, strawberry, watermelon and chocolate. Located in
the campground, the store also provides ice cream treats,
camp supplies, firewood, and an inviting front porch where
you can sit, relax and chat with friends while enjoying a
sweet treat. Open Memorial Day to Labor Day.

Quiet Places
Our abundance of inspirational places are ideal for
meeting in small groups, contemplating retreat topics, and
being alone and quiet within our 900 acres. Renew and
energize yourself by walking the grounds, sitting by the
lake, climbing our towers and visiting our other spaces,
including:
Lone Tree Point
Venture out to this quiet spot behind Roger Williams
Inn. It’s where our founder, Jessie Lawson, took refuge
from a storm in 1888. She returned later to buy that
land and 1,100 acres more to start Lone Tree Farm.

Hopevale Memorial Cathedral in the Glen

Hopevale Memorial Cathedral in the Glen
This replica of a chapel built by 11 American Baptist
missionaries in the Philippines during WWII is a
peaceful spot in the woods.
Spurgeon Chapel
This historic chapel, built in 1904 as a root cellar by the
Lawsons, is perfect for quiet meditation and prayer.
Wagon Rides
Enjoy a wagon ride around the grounds; plan one with
a campfire or cookout! Available year round weather
permitting, the wagon is pulled by a tractor.
