Swimming

The outdoor pool was built in 1929, has been rebuilt as needed since then, and is open only during the warm part of the year. It is 30 x 75 feet, has a low diving board, and is located so that it has an outstanding eastward view of the Columbia River Gorge. It is usually opened on or about Memorial Day and closes by early September. The pool area has picnic facilities, dressing rooms and bathrooms. Although the water temperature is seldom hot, it is at least tolerable all through the summer, and the view brings people to the pool even when they don't plan to swim.

The Swimming pool is available June-August Menucha provides an unguarded pool for the convenience of Menucha guests. The pool will be restricted to guests only. Rules are posted at the entrance of the pool. The rules must be strictly observed. The State Health Department regulations no longer allow us to keep the pool open after dusk, so we we close the pool before dinner.

Swim Times: Normal pool hours are 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Other hours may be arranged through the office.

If your group consists mainly of minors, we highly recommend that you have a life guard present to guard your participants.

Basketball & Tennis Court

The single court provides an opportunity for tennis or for basketball using the backboards on the sides of the court. Racquets and basketballs are available from the office, but they get heavy use, and probably aren't as good as you own. Tennis balls are available for a refundable deposit.

Volleyball

With its own concrete court and the net up all year, volleyball is very popular. Check out a ball or bring your own.

Softball & Baseball

Our mowed, leveled field has no backstop, but has an inset plate. Soft and hard balls, gloves (of sorts) and bats (better than broomsticks) are available from the office.

Ping Pong

Tables are in Wright Hall and at The Barn, and are for use by groups staying in those buildings. Paddles are supplied; balls may be purchased for a refundable deposit, unless kindly left by you for someone else!

Foosball

Table located in Wright Hall basement, for use by groups staying in that building. Balls are available for rent in the office.

Horseshoe Pit

Located near the volleyball court; horseshoes available in the office.

Jogging

Routes available from 4 miles to much-too-long, ranging in difficulty from simple to quite unpleasant. Maps are available in the office.

Walking

The jogging routes are obviously open to you, but there are other trails that joggers might not use which are very enjoyable for those who prefer walking...2000 year-old cedar trees, anyone?
