Camp is officially in session!
There’s no easier way to gain the World’s Best Parents title than by sending your kid to Banning Mills Summer Camp. The summer camps offered at this idyllic getaway are the epitome of an exciting, adrenaline-filled adventure for your children. There is no doubt they will have a blast, and you may even get a few moments to yourself because of it too! And who doesn’t love that?!
Boredom is an unknown word here at Historic Banning Mills, the premier adventure resort in the USA. Banning's mission is not only to provide a good time but also to preserve the unique and pristine ecosystems of the Snake Creek Gorge and Chattahoochee watershed areas, as well as the extensive history of the Banning Mills township.
There are two different types of summer camps offered to ensure everyone’s unique needs can be met: Camp Adventure and Camp Extreme. These are both week-long summer day camps that provide nature-based learning and adventure activities including fishing, paddle-boarding, swimming, team building, zip lining, nature walks, horseback riding, nature programs, and much more!
Camp Adventure
Designed for children ages 8-13, Camp Adventure features an easier-paced selection of activities intended for younger children. At $325 per camper, there are 4 different sessions offered throughout June and July. This camp includes Putt Putt Golf, Archery, Scavenger Hunt, History Walks, and a Special Nature Show. Campers will be immersed in nature all week and even have the opportunity to fly down our 1,000-ft Zip Line! An experience they won’t soon forget. Plus, be ready to get a little wet on one of our famous River Treks.
Camp Extreme
Camp Extreme is designed for the older, more experienced children ages 13-16. At $425 per camper, these sessions are offered at the same time as Camp Adventure, so families with children of different ages can send them at the same time. An array of more challenging activities awaits the extreme campers, with tons of zip lining opportunities. Campers can try our thrilling Ridge Runner and Flight of the Falcon tours that are even faster and taller and sure to get your heart racing. Take the ultimate trek on Sky trek, a 600-foot-long monster suspension bridge over 100 feet above the creek! Next, experience the dizzying heights of our Crazy Squirrel Ariel Adventure featuring 38 different aerial elements.
It is hard to imagine the immense number of experiences offered at Banning Mills this summer. Your kids will not only have an amazing time, but also learn a lot about the nature surrounding them and the teamwork necessary during their activities.
