Birch Cabin – a serene mountain cabin located at the corner of Association Drive and Friendship Lane.  Driving directions to Birch Cabin:  take Program Way off of Association Drive.  Go to the end of Program Way and the last driveway on the right leads to Birch Cabin.  There is a large banner on the porch labeled “Massage Cabin”.  If walking just find the corner of Association Dr. and Friendship Lane )next to Arts and Design Center. 

Summer (June through August 2025):

Mobile Massage – In room/In cabin massage only.  During the summer we bring everything to your room including music, massage table, linens, aromatherapy, and more to create a spa environment in the privacy and convenience of your lodge room or cabin.  Simply designate a space be it a bedroom, the living room if others are gone or coming/going respectfully, or downstairs living room.  It’s up to you!  Try to choose a space that does not have stairs to it.  If there are more than 5 stairs I ask for someone to help me carry the massage table up/down the stairs, if able.  It’s light with two people!

Need grounding, relaxation or a little TLC after a hike? “Hikers feet heaven” is for you! (not currently available)  

*Body Brushing:  + $15.   For the first ten minutes of the massage the therapist will use a soft bristle body brush to invigorate the skin, circulation, and lymphatic system, using small quick strokes called “dry brushing”.  All brushing starts from extremities and moves toward the thymus gland at base of throat.  You take the brush home to continue body brushing when you feel like it – daily, every other day, or weekly.  This is a highly recommended addition to your self care routine and has benefit for the immune system.   

Foot Scrub: + $10.  Lavender or orange infused sugar scrub is vigorously applied to the feet to increase circulation and provide an awakening for the feet.  Followed by warm towel treatment for the feet.

A new Center for Wellbeing is currently underway to be built at the YMCA.  Location is next to the museum, behind Arts and Design building.  The facility hopes to be ready to deliver on the YMCA mission to “put christian principles into practice for the wellbeing of all” Memorial weekend 2025.  There will be a massage wing and a multipurpose room hosting yoga, pilates, tai chi, among other mindfulness and fitness services.  No gym or weights will be in the CFWB.  An outdoor yoga deck or pad is also in the works.  The deck will be located behind archery near the mountain center.
