This also is where most of us congregate during the weekend. Games and music are impromptu and usually ongoing. Enjoy fellowship, singing, or the peace that getting away for awhile can bring. All the meals are provided by the great Sky Lake staff (three on Saturday and two on Sunday)  Depending on the weather outdoor activities can include ice-skating, sleigh riding, winter walks, or cross-country skiing (if you have skis).
