Ping Pong and 9-Square are also popular options.

On the shore of Lake Coeur d’Alene, you will find our rustic chapel and main campfire circle. Many significant gatherings have been held at these sacred spaces over the years.

Nature flourishes at N-Sid-Sen. Enjoy it from afar or up close and personal.

Some of our groups opt for short work projects. These 1.5-3 hour projects are great for building your team, developing a sense of satisfaction, and logging service hours – for those who need them.

In the summer, waterfront activities include swimming, canoeing, and fishing. Lifeguards are required for all swimming and boating activities.

Let the light shine in! All the meeting and gathering spaces at N-Sid-Sen let the light shine in, and most have a view of Lake Coeur d’Alene.

Most are A/V equipped. Both the Welcome Center/Stillwater Lodge and the outdoor Pavilion have enhanced sound systems that work well for large meeting and even dance groups. The floors in these two facilities were designed with meeting and dancing in mind.

With advance notice, our staff can customize meeting rooms for your needs. We can manage the details of table and chair set-up according to your specifications.
