Shades of Green opened 1 February 1994 as the only AFRC in the continental U.S. The brainchild of forward thinking supporters of the Armed Forces, Shades of Green has blossomed into the finest R&R option for our servicemembers and their families serving this great nation.

Carrying on an Important Tradition...
As you enter Shades of Green, you will see the five service flags framing an immense rock formation complete with cascading waterfalls. Rising above this setting is a larger American flag and a smaller POW/MIA flag. This serves as a daily reminder to all guests and Shades of Green staff that we have but one true mission..."Serving Those Who Serve". Armed Forces Recreation Centers have been serving the nation's servicemembers and their families since 1946.

Newly Expanded...
Running at near capacity since it opened, Shades of Green undertook a massive expansion plan starting April 2002 and reopened March 2004. Our goal was to create an even better resort that included more guest room options, meeting space, additional fine dining and many more guest amenities



Built to Serve You in the Future...
We have made it our goal to create new ways for you to enjoy this exceptional facility. Even if you have been to Shades of Green before, you'll be awestruck by the number of new and exciting possibilities each visit brings. With ever expanding dining and entertainment options, Shades of Green guests could spend a vacation here and never do the same thing twice.
