Linwwod offers a variety of outdoor premeire facilities including our pavillioln which has a capacity of 250 with electricity and lighting. Guests may also utilize our Amphitheater which has seating for 300 and is the perfect location of our outdoor celebrations including baptisms, weddings and keynote addresses. In 2004 Linwood MacDonald replaced our lakeside campfire circle through bench donations from staff, alumni, Board Members and local community groups. These handcrafted wooden benches now offer a magical location for evening campfire programs.
