Demory Field/Campground

Demory Field is our main camping area (for up to 80 campers), providing potable water, fire pit, grill, picnic tables, lean-to, and pavilion.  Bathrooms and showers are located at the nearby Education Center, which is an easy 0.2 mile walk from Demory Field.

Sawmill Field/Campground

This is a large open field on the southern edge of the Blue Ridge Center property, off Sawmill Lane.  This field is often used for large (100-300 people) camping events.  The field connects to the Butterfly Alley trail, running along the power line and providing a connection to the Appalachian Trail; and lies just a short walk from scenic Gordon Pond. 

Education CENTER

The Education Center is a rustic, informal gathering space with an event hall, conference room, bathrooms, kitchen, and barbeque grill.  The event hall is a 3-season facility most suitable for use during spring, summer, and fall.  The remainder of the building has central heat and A/C.  Staff offices are located in the second floor of this bulding.  

Demory-Wortman house

The Demory Wortman house serves as the site for many of the Center's educational programs.  It also serves as a wonderful location for group events such as weddings, corporate retreats, educational seminars, etc., and is available for daytime and overnight rentals.  

The main house of the Blue Ridge Center property, the Demory-Wortman house, was constructed around 1848 by Mahlon Demory who received the property after his father Phillip's death.  The original house was a two-story log cabin that shows considerable German influence typical of the time period. Sometime around 1900 a major addition was added to the original log house and the logs were enclosed.  The Demory-Wortman House has been nicely renovated and is outfitted with comfortable, rustic furnishings.
