Lighting of the Lake and

Surroundings

We need your help again this year!

Let's make our town an even more magical place to visit!

We are asking property owners to place a lighted tree or decorate their docks and surrounding areas for the month of December. Lighting from your decks would require an extension cord and a timer set from 5pm-midnight, making the Lake look like a magical winter wonderland over the holidays. Please contact Nancy Sonney, owner of Secret Cubby,

at 814-881-9118 with questions.

Let's light up the Lake for Christmas through the Village!

The Camp at Findley is excited to announce that we are offering Summer Camp in 2026! We will have camps open to grades K-12 AND a new STEM camp.

Registration for camp will open on December 3rd!

Stay tuned for Early registration discounts and more!
