Creature comforts

Enjoy the comforts of home at some sites—including flush toilets, showers, and a kitchen.

Threshold Learning Center is 28 acres of prairie, creek, woods, and our barn dormitory. Threshold is first, an outdoor learning center for schools during the school year, and a summer camp offering several day camps, family camps, and trips. As a non-profit, however, we are constantly trying to find a way to offer our programs to everyone regardless of whether they are able to pay our fees while still making enough money to stay open. We started renting TLC to the public 5 years ago for weddings, reunions, or just families who are looking to connect to the world around them. Our motto is "No Child Left Inside" and we want every inner child to enjoy what we have at TLC. We have 7 bedrooms in our dormitory, 5 camp sites, a large camp fire ring, a mini-golf course, and we are always willing to lead your group in an educational experience or take you on a hayrack ride.

Best Stay Ever!

This was the most beautiful place we have stayed at to date. The hosts are so warming and lovely and the site itself is more than we could have asked for. Thanks TLC for giving us a nice home for a couple of nights and for being a genuinely caring organization that takes care of the community and the children.

Perfect spot

I loved the tent camping at Greta’s place. What a find! Such a great place to relax and let the world spin for a few days. Can’t wait for my next trip to Iowa so I can stay again.

Nice quiet property with convenient accommodations. The weather was a bit stormy so Gretta graciously offered a room in the barn. I’ll definitely stay again if I’m passing through.

Great Stay!

Perfect stay! Beautiful and peaceful. Great stop on our trip. Gretta let our girls use the arts and crafts on a rainy night and all the amenities were a welcome addition to our stay. Would stay again without hesitation.
