Camp Omega Retreat Center

Waterville, MN

Addition/Remodel
Size: 10,975 square foot
Completed: July 2022

Camp Omega has long been a trusted destination for adult and family retreat groups. To continue meeting the evolving needs for modern comfort, Camp Omega has partnered with Station 19 to enhance their Adult & Family Retreat Center. Recognizing the lack of modern short-term accommodations in the area, Camp Omega seized the opportunity to address this demand.

The expansion includes a retreat center featuring nine hotel-style rooms, a lobby, and meeting spaces, seamlessly integrated with the existing west end of the dining hall. The main meeting room extends the dining hall's functionality, offering space for gatherings and an adjacent serving kitchen to keep meals warm, complementing the prep kitchen. Additionally, there is an adjoining suite for larger families and a bunk room that sleeps eight. The dining hall's exterior was revamped to ensure a cohesive aesthetic with the new addition.

Situated atop a hill with stunning lake views, the site faced challenges due to steep bluff setbacks. However, the result is a versatile facility that accommodates student camps, adult retreats, and special events year-round. This new Retreat Center boasts 25 hotel-style rooms, private bathrooms, large group gathering spaces, and breathtaking views of nature.
