About Tall Oaks

Tall Oaks                                                     www.talloaks.org

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, adults would be 2 per room $160, 3 per room $143, and 4 per room $139. 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)             $160.00      $118.00       free
3 per room (each person)             $143.00      $101.00       free
4 per room (each person)             $139.00        $97.00       free
