Bamberger Ranch Facilities
The Center
When the Center was built in the early 1980's, Mr. Bamberger wanted to provide
a place that would serve visitors to the ranch as a place to meet and to learn
about environmental conservation. He was aware of the division between the
environmentalists and developers, and decided to name his new building "The
Center" because he wanted it to be a place that would serve to bring factions
together so that they could work together and come to a consensus. As Mr. B.
says, "It is in the center isle of Congress that the left and right come together
and find areas of agreement." This beautiful stone conference hall with two
dormitory style sleeping wings can sleep 48 people and conference 100. We have
a commercially equipped kitchen where our staff prepares meals for guests at
reasonable prices. This facility is available to groups that are dedicated
to or have an interest in conservation and the environment. (By special arrangement
the Center can be rented for other large events such as weddings, family reunions,
and business meetings). You are asked to arrive as a group and leave as a group,
and keep the car traffic in and out to a minimum. You can hike around the ranch.
A tour of the ranch can be arranged, or if you wish, we can give you a special
program tailored to your interests. There is central heat, large fireplaces,
and ceiling fans, but no air-conditioning, TV, or telephone.
COST: $10.00 per person per day, with $275.00 minimum
DAY ONLY: $175.00
MEALS: $10.00 per person per meal, 20 person minimum.
LINENS: $5.00/ set (or bring your own)
**We are a private ranch and visitation is strictly by reservation. We cannot accommodate drop-in traffic. We do appreciate your desire to see us, but please make arrangements before coming to the ranch.**
