Life at the Lodge

Daily Activities

Our goal is to keep every resident engaged, entertained and fulfilled. The Lodge at Otter Creek provides a range of activities, events and programs to support our residents' leisure, intellectual and cultural interests. The activities are designed to appeal to the varied lifestyles and backgrounds of the residents.

Our activities program brings together staff, residents, family members and volunteers, emphasizing creative expression, physical activity, social and spiritual connections, intergenerational events, musical and theatrical entertainment and we take full advantage of the many offerings that occur daily at Middlebury College and Middlebury, Vermont.
