Take Advantage of the Off-Season at The Virden Center.
Summer may be winding down, but the school year is amping up. Get your team focused with departmental retreats, team-building workshops, and association events.
We’re heading into the off-season, and that means less crowds yet still plenty of time to enjoy being down by the shore. Book your meeting or event – for a day or a weekend.

The Virden Center.
One of the UD Community’s best perks.
The Virden Center has flexible meeting rooms, a spacious lounge, indoor and outdoor dining, and 23 guestrooms, and expansive open grounds.
Guestrooms are divided between two lodges and offer two room configurations: a queen and twin or two twins. Each guestroom has a private entrance, a private bath, and a private screened-in porch – many overlooking the surrounding wetlands. Other creature comforts include linens, toiletries, coffee makers, TVs, WiFi, plus mini-refrigerators and microwaves in select rooms.
Now is a great time to plan your next meeting or event.
