Mt. Aetna Retreat Center

Invasive species number....?

Seeing lots of little ones in all parts of the campus. If you're visiting, please drive real slow!

Mr. Ethan took this picture yesterday at High Challenge.

We've seen this on several peoples posts. Perhaps we need to hang a variation of it in our bath houses?

We have robins nesting on the upper beams of the office front porch! Enter with care or you may get dive bombed by concerned parents.

Some of our full-time and food service staff gather for lunch to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of Marylu becoming our Food Service Director! She has blessed so many with her talent and attitude over the last two and a half decades. Thank you MaryLu for your service!

(Strange blue/white flare is from the giant sunlit windows in the background.)

Here is our our April 13, 2026, celebratory "Cutting of the caution tape" as we reopen the newly rebuilt front entrance of White Pine Lodge. David, Edgar, and Denis built us a ramp and stairs that would support the weight of a truck. It's sturdy, safe, and looks great!

The original lasted over 35 years, so we can't complain. The new concrete lower steps are less steep and will be less slippery in snow and ice. They have metal tread edges on the noses of each step.

Anyone what to donate one or two to the Retreat Center?

The engines are mounted sideways and run at amazingly low rpm. https://trib.al/1h0yVk0

We have a lot of woodpeckers and sapsuckers living on the property and others just popping in to visit.
