Tall Oaks Conference Center
Company Overview
Tall Oaks Conference Center is a year round facility set in a natural environment that provides accommodations and activities for groups hosting camps, family reunions, special needs camps, school and religious retreats. It is owned and operated by the Greater Kansas City Region of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). The majority of the summer season is based around the K.C. Region’s Youth Camping Program. Many other non-related groups also schedule the center throughout the year. Types of groups using the Center range from: day and overnight youth camps, to adult retreats, seminars, and conferences, to family reunions, and business training sessions.
The center is located on 340 scenic acres strategically found between the Kansas City metro area and Lawrence, Kansas. It offers a hotel style lodge as well as dormitory style cottages and tenting spaces for guests. Meals are served in the spacious dining hall. Seasonal activities include swimming in the outdoor pool, horseback riding, archery, and hiking. There is a challenge course for teambuilding facilitated by Tall Oaks' trained staff.
Services are provided by a core of approximately 15 year round staff. During the summer months additional staff are brought on board to deliver the popular outdoor activities. Both the facility and the D.O.C. summer youth program are accredited by the ACA (American Camp Association).
