Harvest Fest (October 18-20, October 25-27)

The camp transforms into an autumnal paradise this October, inviting families to celebrate the season's splendor.

But that's just the beginning. Harvest Fest also boasts carnival games and a hay maze, alongside an array of outdoor activities designed to bring families closer to nature and each other. Serene hikes through the changing forests offer unique experiences for every family member, ensuring no dull moment. Every evening culminates in a cozy campfire, where stories are shared, laughter echoes, and marshmallows roast gently, perfecting that quintessential fall experience.
