Guggenheim has a long tradition of shared use!    It is thanks to a spirit of dedication and mutual cooperation that we are able to make this facility available.  Please be very attentive to the following expectations!

1. On-site Registration with the Facilities Director
The leader (s) of each group will be contacted by the Facilities Director during their stay.  In addition, each group leader who is responsible for a group visiting the Lodge,  must sign the Guest Register there.

2. Supervision and Group Discipline
Group leaders are responsible for insuring that all members of their party follow the Guggenheim guidelines outlined here.  In any group there must be at least one adult advisor for each eight youth under the age of 18.  Diocesan Guidelines for the Pastoral Care of Minors should be carefully adhered to.  Discipline is the responsibility of the group leader and the team of adult advisors as directed.

3.  Maintenance
Groups using the Center are expected to keep the Center clean, keep the kitchen neat and dishes washed.  All laundry belonging to the Center must be washed and returned to its proper location before departure.  Kitchen procedures will be posted and must be followed.  All groups are expected to leave the Center in readiness for the next group.  No housekeeping services are available at the Guggenheim Center. 
The Facilities Director, Mr. Bennett, will be responsible for the maintenance of the Center.  If needs arise notify him.  DO NOT call a local service.  Likewise, the Facilities Director must approve any changes or improvements to the Center.  The head of each group will assume responsibility for damage done in using the buildings, grounds and equipment.

4.  Following Guggenheim Policies
Group leaders are responsible for insuring that all members of their party understand and follow the guidelines listed on the back of this flier.

Who should we contact for help when we’re on site?

Mr. Ralph Bennett is the Facilities Director at the Guggenheim Center for Religious Programs.  When he is not at the Center he can be reached at (518) 327-3545.
