Lodging

Two options for lodging at St. Christopher:
Lodge rooms or Cabins
 
Our four lodges offer the usual features you would find at a modern hotel except no TV and no phone.  Wireless internet connection is available in all Conference Center lodge rooms as well as meeting spaces.
 
There are 17 cabins on the beach connected by boardwalks. They sleep 8-10 people per cabin in bunk beds (but we will have 4-5 people in each cabin with all bottom bunks!).  There is heating and air-conditioning. Shared bathrooms and showers in the cabins have hot water, while cold water rinse-off stations are located on the boardwalks. Many of the cabins feature large porches perfect for gatherings.  Bring your own twin bedding and towels.

Lodge room for 1: $210 per person
Lodge room for 2: $140 per person
Note: If you have a 3- or 4-person group that would like to share a lodge room at a slightly discounted per-person rate, please email [email protected].
 
Cabin bunk: $100 per person
Mention a person or people you would like to be in a cabin with, and we’ll do our best!

Camp Saint Christopher

St. Christopher is located on 314 acres of beach, maritime forest, and undisturbed salt marsh on Seabrook Island, on the Atlantic coast about an hour south of Charleston. It is the perfect destination for groups, families, and those looking to step away from life’s demands for a few days.
