Rentals and Bookstore

Several facilities at Shaver's Creek, including the main building that houses our Bookstore and Gift Shop, are available to rent for group programs and outings. Please note that we no longer allow weddings or wedding receptions at our facility. Please see our Rental Pricing and Policies for details.

Boats and boating equipment for use on Lake Perez are available across the lake at Stone Valley Recreation Area. Lake Perez is currently drawn down, but is slated to be refilled by fall of 2012. Stone Valley also rents the other cabins, pavilions, and lodges surrounding Lake Perez (including for weddings and receptions).

The main building and its Lower Classroom and Discovery Room can accommodate groups up to fifty people (or fewer, depending on the room configuration). The main building also has covered and uncovered outdoor porches that can accommodate more people in good weather (noting that the weather should not be relied upon). The Upper Classroom can accommodate up to forty people (depending on the configuration). The Outdoor Classroom, constructed in 2008, can accommodate groups up to 75 people in a covered outdoor setting (no walls). Some groups can also utilize our semi-covered teaching spaces adjacent to the center and on our trails. In addition to the Outdoor Classroom, a picnic area is available near the Upper Classroom.

Note: Groups of twelve or more coming for unguided visits to the Center require advanced scheduling and a nominal fee.

The Bookstore houses a variety of outdoor books for adults and children, Shaver's Creek clothing, outdoor items such as bird feeders, and gifts for adults and children. Members of Shaver's Creek receive discounts on purchases at the Bookstore and on rental of our facilities.
