Conference Program
In the spirit of close and neighborly relations between the peoples of the United States and Canada, the Roosevelt Campobello International Park Commission developed a unique conference program as an expression of FDR’s interest in promoting goodwill and understanding. Through this program, the Commission welcomes small conferences in the kind of informal and relaxing setting that was an essential part of the Roosevelt political style. Here, men and women can examine the common issues that confront Canada and the U.S. - and all the world - with both the seriousness and the humor President Roosevelt brought to his office and its cares. Most conferences are international in scope and predominantly noncommercial, governmental, or academic in nature. However, for-profit groups may be accepted. Acceptance of all conferences is subject to approval by the Commission's Conference Committee.
The Conference Center includes four turn-of-the-century cottages: Prince Cottage, Hubbard Cottage, Wells-Shober Cottage and Johnston Cottage. A more modern cottage, the Patterson Cottage, is also used to house conferees. These cottages have been handsomely redone and furnished to provide pleasant overnight accommodations for conference participants. As well as providing accommodations, the Prince Cottage serves as the dining center for conference groups. The Johnston and Patterson Cottages are wheelchair accessible and offer all amenities.
The cottages offer a total of twenty-three rooms, three singles
and twenty doubles. Meetings may be
held in a board setting in
the Hubbard Cottage
conference room (seating up to twenty-four), or in a casual setting
in living rooms at the Hubbard and Prince cottages (up to fifty).
Both cottages
are wheelchair-accessible. Minimum overnight group size is eight;
maximum overnight group size is forty-one. Facilities can accommodate
day-meeting
and luncheon groups up to a maximum of sixty people. (Overflow accommodations
for large groups are available at local lodging establishments.)
Conference facilities are available from late May through mid-October.
Menu, meal rates, and accommodation rates are subject to change.
