The Blue Lotus Center

Blue Lotus Farm & Retreat Center, 501c3 nonprofit, assists those with profound life challenges of any age by providing accessible outdoor recreational and therapeutic opportunities in a caring, accepting, and inspiring 64-acre day camp setting. We know the benefits of nature and want everyone to have equal access to it. Studies show that enjoying a natural setting, like a park or forest, has many therapeutic qualities such as reducing blood pressure, anxiety and stress levels. Other research has shown it helps people sleep well, increase vigor and even boost immune systems. Our main mission focuses on serving many populations: with physical, developmental, cognitive, emotional, or mental health challenges at-risk due to abuse, neglect, low income, or trauma coping with terminal illness, chronic disease, or memory loss

We provide a day camp experience to all those who have significant life challenges and/or lack of access to nature. Groups rent our entire property for a half or whole day and enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, nature trails, swings, musical instruments, and much more.
