Other fun
things to do
The camp itself
has a variety of activities:
-
There's
a small pond that with kayaks and canoes available.
It's fed by a spring and the water is quite cold, so
swimming isn't for the faint of heart. It's
also stocked with rainbow trout for fishing.
-
There's
a sand volleyball
court and a cement basketball court on one side of
the stream. On the other side is a ball field for
softball, soccer, and other games needing a larger
space. There's also a Frisbee golf course and
horseshoes.
-
There are several
hiking trails starting right at the camp;
the
Aspen Ridge Nature Trail is a self-guided hike with
information about different places and things along
the way.
-
The lodge has a
variety of indoor games including
ping-pong, foosball, card and table games.
