Site Director, Eric Strommer shares, “What better place to have a family vacation? Being right on Crystal Lake gives such a peaceful and enjoyable stay. Imagine waking up and seeing the lake right there. It is so easy to want to rest and relax at Crystal Conference all day but we are close to so many wonderful natural and cultural attractions for day trips. Crystal Conference Center is just about close to perfection.”
