Accommodations
The Setting

Weather: Usually perfect. Summer days are warm and sunny with temperatures reaching 85 degrees. Evenings are crisp and clear, rarely falling below 55 degrees, and illuminated by a dazzling display of stars. An occasional thunderstorm adds lots of excitement but seldom interferes with the activities and fun.
Lake Arrowhead: The premier freshwater lake resort in Southern California, rich in history and tradition. The lake is alive with activity and the village itself offers an array of shopping opportunities.

Three Meals: For more than 40 years, the dinner bell at UCLA’s Lake Arrowhead Conference Center has signaled award winning food, and that tradition extends to Bruin Woods. Breakfast, served buffet style, includes bacon, eggs, pancakes, muffins, lots of fruit, cereal and yogurt. At lunch, also buffet style, you can match the quantity and type of food to your personal preference and needs. Dinners are served buffet style on china and linen.
Snack and Bar: We provide a grill where you can purchase between-meal treats and snacks with Bruin Burgers, yogurt, smoothies and ice cream topping the menu. And in accordance with our Bruin Honor Bar tradition, adults enjoy opening and closing cocktail parties as well as peaceful “adult time” throughout the week in our beautiful Lakeview Room.
Satisfying the diverse tastes of more than 350 guests is a challenge that our chef meets with culinary style.
