Woldumar's diverse ecosystems present a wonderful environment for special occasions and gatherings. Ground rentals are available in three hour blocks for groups of up to 250 people. The site you select will determine the number of people Woldumar can accommodate.

The historically renovated RE Olds Anderson Rotary Barn was remodeled in 2004 through the generosity of the mid-Michigan Rotary Clubs. The second story auditorium space accommodates up to 150 people. This open, airy barn loft is heated and accessible by stairs and elevator. In-house lighting can be set to illuminate a stage area for concerts, performances and lectures. Tables to seat up to 150 people and chairs for up to 210 are provided with barn rentals.

Other services such as pontoon boat rides, bonfires, and educational programs are available upon request for an additional fee.

Woldumar is an independently and privately funded 501c3 non-profit organization whose sole mission is to educate people about the natural environment.

We host summer camps, scout programs, school field trips, and numerous community education programs throughout the year. Additionally, we offer organizational team-building opportunities and make our grounds and facilities available to rent for many other private functions.

We are located less than five miles from the heart of downtown Lansing on nearly 180 acres of property along the Grand River. Our 5 miles of hiking trails are open daily to the public.
