Come See
the Place Itself.

What to Expect

No Pitch. Just a Place.

There is no ceremony to this afternoon and nothing to sit through. Come with your questions, your hesitations, or nothing at all.

Walk the Grounds

Forty wooded acres, the garden, the water, and the quiet that people talk about after they leave.

See the Rooms

A made-up guest cabin and the shared spaces, exactly as they sit for a stay rather than for a brochure.

Meet the People

The clinical and admissions team, in person, without a presentation between you and them.

Ask Anything

What a week looks like, what it costs, what families are part of. Ask the question you came with.

The Shape of the Day

A Morning, Loosely Held.

Come for all of it or only the part that interests you. The schedule is a suggestion, not a program, and the doors stay open from eleven until two.

11:00

Arrival & Hot Chocolate

Park anywhere along the drive. Someone will meet you at the lodge with a cup from the hot chocolate bar and, if you would like one, a name tag.

11:30

A Walk Through the Grounds

A slow loop past the cabins, the garden beds and the water, with the story of how each part of camp is used through the season.

12:00

Ribbon Cutting

The moment the camp officially opens its gates. A few words, a pair of scissors, and then the morning carries on as it began.

12:30

Inside the Residences

Step into a guest cabin and the shared rooms, made up as they are for a stay, so you can picture the ordinary days rather than imagine them.

1:00

Light Hors d’Oeuvres & Conversation

Small plates and the hot chocolate bar stay out while clinical and admissions staff answer questions in the open. No presentation and no pressure. Ask anything, or simply listen.

2:00

A Warm Send-Off

The last of the cocoa is poured. Stay for a final question, or slip away whenever you are ready. Nobody will mind either way.

Times are approximate. If you arrive late, come in anyway.

Finding the Camp

Camp Baer sits at the end of a gravel drive off 4H Camp Road, about fifteen minutes from downtown Morgantown. Follow the lanterns once you turn in and park anywhere along the drive.

Free to Attend

No cost, no registration fee, no obligation of any kind.

Come and Go

Drop in any time between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Arriving late is fine.

Food & Drink

A hot chocolate bar and light hors d’oeuvres are served through the morning.

Bring Someone

Partners, parents, siblings and referring professionals are all welcome.

RSVP

Let Us Know You Are Coming.

The open house is free and open to anyone. An RSVP only helps us set enough chairs, pour enough cocoa and warm enough hors d'oeuvres. Walking in unannounced is welcome too.

Kept private - only our admissions team reads this.

Can't make December 17? Private tours are arranged through our admissions team any week of the year. Call (304) 555-0100 or write to admissions@campbaer.com.
