Laugh, Play, and Explore at Camp Kirkwood
From sun-up to sundown, there’s something for everyone at Camp Kirkwood! Our sparkling 10-acre lake is perfect for fishing, canoeing, paddleboarding, kayaking, or just splashing around on the lake rafts.
On land, the fun never stops—take a dip in our outdoor pool, hike scenic trails, tackle the high and low ropes courses, soar on the zip-line, aim for bullseyes at our archery and BB gun ranges, or test your courage on the Swing By Choice and power pole.
Looking for teamwork and skill-building? We offer outdoor education and team-building classes for school groups and retreats.
Reach out today to plan your adventure!
