Yurts are a cross between a geodesic dome and a luxury safari tent. The circular, canvas-covered Yurts have plywood sub-floors, wood lattice walls, windows, framed door entry and skylight.

These structures are becoming very popular and can be found in numerous national and state parks throughout the country, but this is the first time that these Yurts can be experienced in the Pocono Mountains.

The new Yurt village at PEEC currently has 4 Yurts that sleep up to 8 guests in each structure and 4 larger Yurts that sleep up to 12 guests each. Four of the Yurts are also ADA accessible.

PEEC’s Yurts are furnished with bunk beds, heat, electricity, ceiling fans and are now available for groups, families and individuals that are taking part in PEEC’s programs.

Thanks to the Yurt’s amenities and sound design, individuals will have a more comfortable night’s sleep compared to conventional tenting. While the Yurts do not have plumbing, showers and bathroom facilities are available on campus.
