Mount Tabor is a complex of four cabins and a main lodge set on a tree filled hill top. Offering a more rustic experience and natural setting, Mt. Tabor is a favorite for family camping, church camping and youth retreats. Each of the four cabins have the same floor plan and can sleep up to 14 guests apiece. The cabins have two sides with dividers which make gender splits or family splits available. Each cabin also has a pavilion nearby for outdoor activities or meals.

The main lodge is a short distance from the cabins and a large meeting space, a fire place, a kitchette and 2 dormitory-style bathrooms. The campfire circle is a perfect place for singing and s’mores in the evening. Jacob’s Ladder provides easy access to the Emmaus Commons, the waterfront area and the Lakeview Chapel.

Mt. Tabor is available from May 15th through September 30th.

History:

“While many of the churches of Central New York were enlarging their facilities to accommodate the postwar baby boom, Casowasco continued adding buildings. As Bethany neared completion (1962) plans for a cabin unit on the knoll midway up the hill from the point were moving from dream to reality. Builder Richard Hoyt began construction summer ‘63 and completed work that fall. This investment of $49,700 brought into being Mt. Tabor - a cluster of four separate cabins with a central lodge - Casowasco’s first facility specifically designed for small group camping.”
