Highland Pool
Our well-maintained pool on Lower Highland Drive includes a large 3'-5' section, a diving area, and a baby pool. The pool is open from Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend.
2023 Pool Hours and Fees
On all weekdays, summer camps and guest groups will be assigned swimming times; there are no open hours and groups should only come to the pool during their designated times. Group leaders should schedule their pool times with the main office, and other guests should consult their group leaders for their pool times.
We will have open hours most weekends when community members and other day guests (those not part of a larger guest group) may also come to use the pool.
Weekend open hours (for overnight guests, day guests, and community members):
Fridays: 6:30pm-9:30pm*
Saturdays: 1:00pm-5:00pm, 6:30pm-9:30pm*
Sundays: 1:00pm-3:30pm through the end of July, 1:00pm-4:00pm in August
*The pool may close earlier on cooler evenings.
Community members should pay day pass fees (or season pass fees) before heading to the pool. Day pass fees are $6 per adult (ages 13+), $4 per child (ages 6-12), or $18 per family (1-5 people in a household). Children 5 and under are free. Day pass fees also give you access to Highland's hiking trails and recreation equipment, if you want to do a bit more than swimming. During regular office hours (9-5 Mon-Fri, 10-4 Sat), fees should be paid at the main office (Upper Highland Drive). If the main office is closed, check in at the pool's Snack Shop to pay.

Pool Information for Guest Groups
Overnight groups:
- Guests who have overnight lodging are not required to pay an additional fee for the pool.
- Individuals who join a longer retreat for just a day should pay the day pass fees, since they are not paying for lodging. This may be added to the group's overall invoice.
- Our regular pool hours are open to all weekend guest groups.
- Midweek guest groups are also welcome to use the pool. Contact the office to schedule your swim times in advance. The hours per day we can schedule for each group will vary based on group size and overall availability.
- Overnight groups seeking additional swim times may do so at the rates set for pool parties.
Day groups:
- Our regular pool hours are open to all weekend guests. Day pass fees should be paid by all day guests who swim, but this may be added to the group's overall invoice.
- See Pool Parties for details on day groups wishing to schedule exclusive use of the pool at other times.
Group leaders, please remind your groups to bring towels, wear modest swimsuits, and abide by the pool rules.

Please contact the office well in advance to schedule your pool party. Hourly pool rental fees* will vary based on your group size. Your charge will be determined when you make your reservation.
