Lakeside Chautauqua
Discover Lakeside
For 150 years, Lakeside Chautauqua has welcomed families to the shores of Lake Erie to take part in an experience dedicated to nurturing mind, body and spirit. Lakeside is a historic community in northwest Ohio that offers an abundance of spiritual opportunities, educational lectures, cultural arts performances and recreational activities year-round for both families and groups of all sizes.
A place for all
Many families are searching for a place to rest, renew and reconnect. At the heart of the Lakeside experience is the unique Chautauqua programming — a perfect balance of cultural arts, education, recreation and religion. The experience is a step back in time to a place where values, traditions and family remain the focus.
