Fees

Housing: Housing costs are $39 per person per night.  There is a minimum charge of $500 per group for an August or September weekend slot. 

Catering: Costs of catering depend on the number of meals and the level of dining desired. All catering costs are simply passed on to the conference organizers with no additional markup.

Lecture Hall:  Use of any of our Classroom/Lecture Halls (at our Sanctuary Lake Site) has a nominal fee of $40 per day.  Use of the Dining Hall as a lecture hall is free.

Watercraft: Canoe and kayak use is free.

Tent Rental:  PLE can arrange for a party tent to be placed on our lawn outside of our dining hall (see here).  Cost is extra and varies depending on what company can provide the tent.

 
Parties interested in having a conference or retreat at the Pymatuning Laboratory of Ecology should contact our Assistant Director, Chris Davis at (814)720-6614 or chris.davis@pitt.edu.
