Located on 350 beautiful woodland acres, Tall Oaks is only fifteen miles from both the western edge of Kansas City & the northeast corner of Lawrence, Kansas (two miles east
of Linwood, Kansas 66052). We selected this site for its relaxed setting & activities for kids.
Meals: All meals will be prepared for us (hooray!). Those on special diets may need
to bring their own food, although most (diabetic, vegetarians, etc) like the dining hall food.
Activities: Outdoor Swimming Pool • Horseback Riding • 5 miles of hiking and
horse trails • High, low and portable challenge • Unique outdoor chapels • Picnic area
with all traditional games • Nature program • Archery • Hayrides
Restrictions: No pets, alcohol, illegal drugs, firearms, fireworks or indoor smoking.
Rooms: The main building, LLC (Lifelong Learning Center), holds up to 48 people
in 12 motel-style rooms. Each room has 2 twin beds, a bunk bed, and a private bath,
and is designed to hold up to 4 persons. If some prefer 2 per room, we may also need
the Milagro cottage, which holds up to 16 persons in 4 similar-style rooms.
Rates: The price of the registration includes 2 overnights (Fri and Sat) plus 5 meals
(3 on Sat and 2 on Sun). Rates are charged by the number in each room. For example,
if 2 adults + 1 youth share a room, each would pay the triple rate according to their age.
Adult (18-up) Youth (5-17) Kids under 5
2 per room (each person) $142 $108 free
3 per room (each person) $120 $86 free
