LODGING
We have three types of lodging available at St. Christopher: lodge rooms, cabins, and two apartments.
We have a total of 17 cabins on the beach. Connected by boardwalks, they sleep 8-10 people per cabin in bunk beds with both heating and air-conditioning. Shared bathrooms and showers in the cabins have hot water, while cold water rinse-off stations are located on the boardwalks. Many of the cabins also feature large porches perfect for gatherings where you don’t want to be inside. Please be sure that you bring your own bedding and towels
While used during the weeks by the Barrier Island program during the school year and Summer Camp during the summer, they are often available on weekends for everything from a family getaway to a youth retreat or a group looking for a more rustic setting.
Our conference center has 44 lodge rooms, which sleep up to four per room. Spread across four buildings, all of our rooms have easy access to both the conference facilities and the beach.
While our rooms are comfortable and include the usual features you would find at a modern hotel there are a few things we have deliberately omitted. Because we want to provide a place where you can unplug from the world and the hectic life of the 21st century, you won’t find TVs or phones in your rooms. Wireless internet connection is available in all Conference Center lodge rooms as well as the Conference Center meeting spaces. We will warn you in advance that cell phone reception is generally only good outside, but you may find that to be more of a feature than a flaw!
Finally, we have two apartments - Fitzgerald, and the Seabrook Apartment. Fitzgerald is located centrally on our campus, in proximity to the Welcome Center, and has one bedroom and one bathroom. The Seabrook Apartment is located under the Pavilion near Jamie’s Lodge, and features two bedrooms (one with bunk beds) and one bathroom. Both feature full kitchens and seating areas. These spaces are typically reserved by those who are planning to stay with us longer than a night or two, and have a cleaning fee associated with them. They are a wonderful option for a family seeking a retreat together; for facilitators who might be leading groups at St. Christopher; or for clergy and lay church professionals seeking respite. Fitzgerald and the Seabrook Apartment are available from September - April.
