The Light Center

The Light Center is a 95 acre natural sanctuary nestled in a wooded valley amidst the farm land of Kansas. We have a refinished barn with two private rooms and a community kitchen, a 30ft Pacific Yurt and lots of great places to camp. If you're just driving through or want an 'easy' camping experience with wifi, pitch your tent in the spacious yard around the barn. We also have lots of places to hike to and several wonderful remote camping spots. Choose from hiking out to camp near the large creek that winds through our land, gathering with friends in a meadow or tucking into a spot in the woods with a beautiful view of the Kansas plains. Out here, on a clear night, you can see all of the stars.

We also are an organic sustainable farm, providing natural sacred spaces for hiking and camping.  We welcome peaceful camping for people with reverence for the land and all beings. We have goats, free-range chickens, guinea hens, dogs and cats. For the safety of our livestock and other guests, we do require visitors to keep their dogs on a leash at all times. 

The Light Center is a retreat center serving as a beacon, lighting the way into a vibrant future. We are creating new paths into the future with open hearts. We offer events, celebrations and ceremonies about harmonizing with the earth and inspiring personal, local and global connections. We provide a safe space to nurture and inspire spiritual growth and empower youth. 

The campground is surrounded by beautiful trees. 

There is a creek near by that allows for some nature walks or a place for your dogs to splash. 

Roots, Fruits & Greens Farm

The farm is in its tenth growing season, selling eggs and vegetables for home delivery and to some of Kansas City's best restaurants.

The host was so nice and set up a barrier between the ground and our tent since it was chilly out. 

We set up camp, just on the edge of the tree-line. Enjoyed the shade of the trees, but also had a nice breeze coming through at night.
