For parties

Family reunions, Christmas parties and milestone birthdays

The party spaces include several billiard rooms and lounges, kitchens and dining areas. You can cook on site, bring your own food or buy meals from us.

A roomy sauna heats up close to the shore, and you can light a fire on the beach. There are rooms in three buildings, so a party can have a whole floor to itself if it wants one.

Class reunions

Back to the old institute

People once came to Keski-Suomen Opisto for gatherings from all over Finland. Now you can bring your own class reunion to the same rooms: the classrooms, main hall, kitchen and accommodation are ready and waiting.

Come and see what has changed and what hasn't.

The institute's history

Meetings and training

As training venues, Suolahtisali takes the big events and the old school's classrooms the smaller ones. Rooms, meals and sauna are all on the same grounds, so a training day can carry on into the evening.

Camps, courses and retreats

When you want to focus

Camps and courses run easily here, because the rehearsal spaces, kitchens and rooms are close together. The Suolahtisali stage suits dance, theatre and music. For sports camps, the ice rink and swimming pool are within walking distance.

The place is peaceful and also works as a retreat. The lake, the beach and the view of Kirppuvuori are never far away.

Apartments, garages, storage and commercial space too

The buildings next to Suolahtisali have apartments, garages and commercial premises for rent. Former dormitory spaces are also rented out as heated storage or hobby rooms. Storage units are at least about 20 m², and each has its own shower and toilet.

Jyväskylä city centre is under 40 minutes away by car. Ask about available space.
