Camp Heart land is a camp for children impacted by HIV?AIDS. They have facilities available for adults year round. I don't know about the rest of the forum but if I had a choice I would want to give my $ to an organization that helps other people affected by HIV?AIDS.

This would be a great place to have a gathering. It isn't very far from a city & I am sure we could find plenty of things to do there.

Retreat to Nature for Your Next Gathering
Camp Heartland Center is a year-round modern retreat and meeting facility in a serene, rustic setting. Located on 80 beautiful wood acres adjacent to three sparkling lakes, Camp Heartland is only 100 miles north of the Twin Cities and 50 miles south of Duluth. Our Center is uniquely situated to provide an “up north” experience without venturing far from the city.
Our facility includes a Main Lodge with full service kitchen, 150 seat dining room, three spacious meeting rooms, fireplaces, and an infirmary. Food and linen services are provided for groups of 25 or more.
The highlight of our Lodge is The Argent Retreat Center. This luxurious facility includes five elegantly decorated guest rooms with private baths, a spacious common area with fireplace, and cabin sleeping on the lower level for up to 24 people.
You couldn’t find a better place for team-building or simply relaxing together! Our experienced staff can help plan the right combination of activities during your stay.
Our facility includes: the Paul Molitor baseball field, basketball courts, sandy beach and volleyball court, access to three lakes for boating, fishing, swimming or ice-skating, hiking trails, ropes challenge courses, climbing wall, and a playground for family fun.
Camp Heartland’s twelve cabins sleep 10-14 people each. Eight of our cabins are heated for year-round use and modern bathroom and shower facilities are nearby.

Finally, something in my neck of the woods. It is in the sticks though. Duluth is about 150K in size and the Twin Cities is 2.9 million. You can't beat this area for nature though. There are plenty of things to do in Minnesota, both urban and rural with the Mall of America, many rivers and our 10K lakes. Hell, even gays live here ;)
And BTW, Minnesota from the Twin Cities to the north is about the only rural place in the US I feel comfortable being gay, holding hands or whatever without getting a beer bottle thrown at me from a racing truck, seriously.

Oh yeah, for the gay folk. There is gay pride in Duluth every year on Labor Day (which I have gone to for the last 10 years). It's hokey but kind of fun with the Canadians that come down from Thunder Bay. Campfire on the beach Friday, picnic on Saturday, boat cruise on Lake Superior on Sunday.
I'm not necessarily advocating it, but this is what I do up north... what the hell. Gotta promote your home.
