We are excited to be welcoming guests back to Amigo Centre. We've been working overtime to make sure all of our guests and staff are safe.
Amigo Centre has put the following things in place to ensure your safety:
MASK REGULATIONS
Masks are recommended for all individuals in indoor settings.
What all comes with a reservation or stay at Amigo Centre?
There are a number of other staff led activities such as a pontoon ride, a nature hike, an outdoor cooking class or archery that can be scheduled but would require an extra fee.
Can we come with multiple families? Sure, we’d ask that you spend your time together outdoors. Please avoid sharing indoor space. This reduces the chances of something being spread.
Are you serving food? Yes we are. We'd love to take this task off your hands. Right now food is being served in our dining hall for groups of 10 or more. We are currently offering brunch (10 am) or supper (5 pm) options.
What do I need to bring?
