If you are interested in renting a venue at Children's Harbor:
Although we believe you’ll find many reasons to allow Children’s Harbor the honor of providing the setting for your event, it’s important for you to know that funding received from renting our facilities directly supports the services we provide.
Children’s Harbor is a non-profit organization that serves seriously ill children and their families with services including coaching, counseling, education, recreation, respite and other supportive services during and after hospitalization.
During hospitalization, we offer services and activities to children and their families at our Family Center, connected to Children’s of Alabama in Birmingham. After hospitalization, we provide camps and other activities at our Lake Martin campus in Alexander City.
Each camp is designed around the needs and abilities of the children and families they host, providing a place to rest, reconnect and reenergize each other in safe indoor and outdoor environments.
We currently partner with more than 20 organizations from all over - representing a wide variety of illnesses and diagnoses each year. If our facility meets your needs and you’d like more information, email Wanda Coker or call (334) 857-20133. We would enjoy the opportunity of learning more about your organization and discovering if Children’s Harbor can assist you in furthering your mission of serving children and their families.
It’s what hundreds of church groups, including men’s retreats, women’s retreats and youth retreats, have found to be true as our guests. Indoor venues and outdoor activities come together to let walls fall, spirits swell and renewed healing and happiness happen.
It’s also important and comforting to know our facilities can be rented individually or together to house groups - large and small. From semi-private sleeping to bunked sleeping quads, equipped kitchens and places to dine and meet - Children’s Harbor is ready to welcome your group.
A few of the outdoor activities you’ll enjoy are breath-taking sunrise and sunset views, swimming (pool and lake), canoeing, miniature golf, a playground and campfires for night-time fun — and maybe a few too many smores.
Private cabins, abundant meeting rooms and furnished conference centers, all tucked into a natural environment with lake views, creates an incredible backdrop for successful meetings and retreats to happen.
Our venues offer a time and place to focus, and relax, based on your team’s needs - both as a group and individually - and for both indoor and outdoor activities and meetings. As a guest, you’ll have access to the same amenities our camp guests have - including miniature golf, canoeing, and swimming.
Clubs and groups find Children’s Harbor on Lake Martin a great place to come together time and time again - partially because of the comfortable and well-equipped facilities ready to accommodate groups of almost any size.
But the things your group may enjoy the most are things like sitting on the porch at night, hearing the lake waves lapping while enjoying star filled skies - all over meaningful conversation with lots of “ahhs" and “wow’s” intertwined.
For most any-sized group, our campus and facilities are designed and well-equipped for retreats. From semi-private sleeping in rooms and cabins to bunked sleeping quads, as well as kitchens and places to dine and meet, we believe your retreat will be wildly successful with us.
A few of the outdoor activities you’re group can enjoy include swimming (pool and lake), canoeing, miniature golf and campfires for morning devotions or night-time star gazing.
In that way, families are indescribable. We pass on stories of strength, we inspire each other. We laugh, we rest and we remember.
Children’s Harbor enjoys the honor of providing such a place and environment where families can come together for a moment in time to create lifetime bonds and unforgettable memories.
Whether your special day is in the heat of the summer or chill of winter, Children’s Harbor on Lake Martin provides a fun and upscale alternative to boring venues.
Equipped to handle nearly any sized birthday celebration - indoors or out - and from self-catered parties to access of one of our kitchens, your next party will be just the way you dreamed it could be.
Planning a group event takes a lot of coordination and access to information and details. We’ve included answers to many of the questions we anticipate you’ll have when it comes to renting and planning a group event at Children’s Harbor at Lake Martin, but also feel free to email us or call (334) 857-2133 for additional information.
