Like juicy fall apples, there are a variety of activities to keep the
kiddos smiling. First it’s a hayride around camp, a ride on your
favorite pony, a visit with kid-friendly farm animals and pumpkin
decorating. Then, it’s on to Miracle Mountain for a rope spinning
demo and fall-themed crafts. Not ready to go home? Kids will get a
chuckle from Paprika the Clown, Magic Steve and Captain Magic.
They can even get their hands “dirty” at the apple slingshot and
scavenger hunt around the camp. Parents will enjoy entertainment
from local musicians, performance troops and wood carver Brian
Sprague. There’s a cake and wine walk too! Visit the website for
more information.
