Welcome back to Lakeside

There's no place quite like Lakeside, the Chautauqua on Lake Erie. It's a place you can bring your family and friends and enjoy the same sustaining values and traditions that you learned as a kid.  Since 1873, Lakeside has been known as a place of spiritual growth and renewal; a place of educational and cultural enrichment; and a place to relax, ride a bike, take a walk or sail the lake. In the midst of all this fun, we often learn more about the world, our neighbors and ourselves.  Come for a day, stay for a week, or all summer long. And become a "Lakesider" instantly.

True to the Chautauqua Movement, Lakeside's mission supports and facilitates a greater life experience for all who enjoy the community. "To enrich the quality of life for all people, to foster traditional Christian values and nurture relationships through opportunities for renewal and growth...spiritually, intellectually, culturally and physically...while preserving Lakeside's heritage."
