Mark Your Calendar for Special Weekends
June is a great time to take advantage of early summer weather without the late summer crowds. We’ve got themed weekends planned—so keep an eye on the activity board when you arrive. (Bonus: You might get in on a surprise popsicle party, family challenge games, or a glow-in-the-dark scavenger hunt!)
Camp Recipe: Mini Campfire Pizzas
Move over hot dogs—it’s pizza night, campground style!
You’ll need:

- Pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella
- Toppings: pepperoni, veggies, ham, pineapple (or whatever your crew loves)
- Foil
Instructions:
- Layer sauce, cheese, and toppings on your bread base.
- Wrap in foil and place near the edge of the campfire or on a grill for 5–7 minutes.
- Carefully unwrap and enjoy your personal-size pizza under the stars!
