Accessibility Statement/Info Page
Additional Accessibility Information
Tofte Lake Center (TLC) strives to be as accessible and accommodating as possible for all individuals and recognizes that this work is ongoing. TLC has one cabin that is wheelchair accessible, including a ramp to the building, two first floor bedrooms, and an accessible bathroom (toilet and shower). Our performing and visual arts studios have ramps as well. TLC sits on a rustic campus and therefore there are some physical challenges to be aware of for those with limited mobility, most notably uneven ground and rugged terrain (gravel paths and some hills). We provide reasonable accommodations upon individual request to the best of our ability. If you have specific access needs or questions please contact our managing director, Riley Burns, at riley@toftelake.org.
