Conference Hosting
Just a few miles off of Interstates 79 & 80 near the quaint little town of Sandy Lake lays the McKeever Environmental Learning Center. Nestled among a beautiful hardwood forest, there you will find 10 buildings carefully tucked into this natural setting. The McKeever Center makes an ideal setting for conferences, whether it’s a single day or a multiple day event requiring overnight accommodations.
Our buildings consisting of red brick and natural cedar were designed to blend with the natural world. The buildings are situated in a circle connected by a paved walkway creating a feeling of community for our groups.
Unlike the typical franchised conference sites, participants can take short walks on one of our four hiking trails or sit outdoors on one of our many benches marveling at the natural world at hand. This non-formal setting energizes creativity and sends participants away feeling recharged.
