Tips & Advice

  • Arrive as soon as check-in opens so you have time for the craft room, Kids Zone, OneWheels, axe throwing, the coffee shop and the gift shop before dinner.
  • Decide by November 23 whether you're going, because after that date cancelling costs half your booking instead of the flat fee.
  • Choose a semi-private room for a hotel-like stay or a family bunkhouse for a classic camp feel; both include supper, breakfast and every activity.
  • Dress warmly for zip lining under the stars, the hayride and the fireworks, since most of the evening's activities happen outside after dark.
  • Count your whole group when booking, because children three and under are free but each guest beyond a family of four pays extra.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New format this year: every booking is an overnight stay with supper and a festive breakfast included
