Dining:
The food at Mikell is excellent. Our Dining Hall was built in the early 80s and can seat up to 200. For weekend conferences or retreats we offer such entrees as pecan-crusted trout, roasted turkey, chicken, and beef, and a host of side dishes. Our salad bar is extensive and contains nearly 60 offerings. We also serve a full breakfast with meats, eggs, biscuits or pancakes, cereal bar, and plenty of coffee to wake up with. We stive to offer dietary balanced and healthy choices.
Meeting Facilities:
We have two main areas for conferences and retreats. The Old Dining Hall (ODH) was built in the 40s. With its hardwood floors, ceiling that was painted during the 60s and 70s by past summer campers and staffers, large stone fire place, and stage, the ODH offers a warm and rustic meeting area for large groups. The ODH is located in the middle of main camp.
For a more modern surrounding, we have a conference center built in 2002 that is located in a bend on Little Toccoa Creek. Inside, there is a large meeting area that can be divided in half, coffee bar, refrigerator, tables and chairs, media equipment, two private bathrooms, and a large stone fireplace. Outside, you will find a large wrap-around porch with an outside fireplace area and a covered area with ceiling fans and rocking chairs. This is a beautiful and relaxing area that is located in our Bishop Child Retreat Center.
Walthour is in the main building where the offices and lobby are located. This room is suitable for medium sized groups of around 50 people.
We can assist you by setting up your meeting space with most any arrangement of tables and chairs that you request. In addition, we can supply easels and markers, a TV with DVD/VCR player, and for a nominal usage fee, a digital projector.
