Check-In/Check-Out Times
Check-in time is 3:30 p.m., however, you are welcome to arrive prior to check-in and enjoy the facilities. If your room is clean and available, you may be able to check-in early.
Checkout time is 11:30 a.m. Guests are invited to stay after checkout to enjoy the facilities, but rooms must be vacated to prepare for arriving guests.
Late fees are charged at $25 per hour after 11:30 a.m.
Meal Shifts
You are assigned a mealtime during your stay. As we cater to many different groups and families on schedules of their own, please adhere to your assigned mealtime to prevent waiting in line for the dining room.
Quiet Hours/Noise Policy
Quiet hours are 10:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. At 10:00 p.m., the noise level must be reduced to a minimum.
This includes, but is not restricted to, all areas of the Trout Lodge (Sunnen Center) including private rooms and balconies or patios, meeting rooms 1-7, family cabins, Hillcrest Hall, North Hall, the Teepee, the Recreation Center, Chapel, Sundeck, Camp Lakewood Cabins, Camp Lakewood Dining Hall, Center Hall, the Triangle Y Ranch, Chuck Wagon Site, parking areas, campfire areas, and waterfront areas.
Unacceptable noise/activity includes, but is not restricted to, running in hallways or on stairs in private rooms, loud music, shouting or loud singing, misuse of elevators, loud automobile activity in parking areas, and any other activity deemed inappropriate by the Manager on Duty.
If it is necessary for a YMCA staff member to ask members of your group to reduce the level of noise or activity within your group, the following steps will occur:
* Warning #1: You as the group leader will be informed that there is a problem. The Manager on Duty will review the noise policy with you at this time.
* Warning #2: Your group will be charged $50.00 (added to your bill) as a penalty. Once again, the Manager on Duty will review the noise policy with you.
* Warning #3: The local sheriff will be called to escort the offending members of your group from the premises. You will be charged for the remainder of the contracted fees.
