Sky Mountain Lodge

Located in a serene mountain landscape near Victor, Idaho, Sky Mountain Lodge is perfect for training events and team-building activities.

Sky Mountain Lodge is available for campus departments and University-sponsored student organizations.

Applications can be completed a maximum of one semester in advance (i.e., on the first day of Fall Semester, you can apply for a date in Winter Semester). The lodge is available for reservation from September through the end of May.

Lodge Reservations Guidelines

  • Reservation requests must be made by submitting a completed Lodge Application. Please note you may list 2 separate dates of when you wish to attend. 
  • Reservation requests received through the first full week of the semester will be gathered and noted when they were received. If multiple requests for a particular weekend are received, we will work to accommodate as many groups as possible. We understand the first 4 weeks of the semester are in the highest demand. When making reservation assignments for these weeks, we will look at when the request was made and when the specific group was accommodated last. Our goal is to allow as many groups the opportunity throughout the calendar year as possible.
  • You will receive an email confirmation with your request once you have officially been scheduled on the Lodge Calendar.
