What Teams
are Saying

“We "retreat" as a group once a year and love to find unique spots that allow us to be active and enjoy the time together. This location was perfect for us. Everyone loved the glamping sites and enjoyed the Rookery as well. This location is set in such a beautiful setting and is convenient to everything.”

- CEO Roundtable Group

“Hosting our adult summer camp at Dappled Light was truly a dream come true… Our campers absolutely loved the glamping tents, exploring the on-site trails, and the convenient location in the heart of the Red River Gorge. I highly recommend Dappled Light to anyone looking for the perfect setting for a retreat, wedding, or intimate gathering with family and friends. We can’t wait to host our camp there for many years to come!”

-Adult Wilderness Camp

“Our leadership team spent the night at Dappled Light Adventures, and it was the perfect mix of focus & fun… Each of us had our own heated tent and incredibly comfortable mattresses, which made it easy to get a good night’s rest before diving into a full day of planning…. It was a beautiful and peaceful setting that gave us exactly what we needed to recharge and refocus.”
