Lakeside is a place of connection. This connection happens spiritually, intellectually, culturally, physically and with community.

When asked what their favorite thing about Lakeside is, individuals from ages 5-75 had a similar answer – Lakeside is a place to come together, without the distractions and burdens of the world, and simply be.
The Power of the Chautauqua Pillars
Peace, relaxation and reinvigoration take hold every time you visit Lakeside. It's a special sanctuary and the four Chautauqua Pillars help us reconnect and grow together time and time again...

  • The Religion Pillar helps us connect and reconnect with God and strengthen our spiritual journey.
  • The Education Pillar connects us to our minds and to elements of history, science, art and current world affairs.
  • The Arts Pillar provides connection to other cultures and experiences that expand our horizons and open our minds.
  • The Recreation Pillar connects us with our bodies by providing opportunities for rejuvenation and personal wellness.

Each pillar allows us to grow, learn, reinvigorate and, most importantly, connect with other people. Lakeside is needed now more than ever in a world of challenges and uncertainty.
Give Today
Very soon, Lakeside will celebrate 150 years as a community dedicated to nurturing mind, body and spirit. Help ensure the Power of the Chautauqua Pillars continues to enrich the lives for the next 150 years so that our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren can experience the same Lakeside we love today.

We invite you to give a special gift to the Lakeside Impact Fund before the year ends. You can designate your gift to any slice of Lakeside that touches your life. Your support strengthens the Power of the Pillars and provides opportunities for deeper connection today and tomorrow.
