SPECIAL TRIPS & SOUTHERN ILLINOIS ADVENTURES

Our 40-acre property has so much to offer—and we also take advantage of the incredible adventure opportunities surrounding us, shuttling campers in our two tie-dyed hippie buses to explore the region.

 

  • Rend Lake – A spectacular 70,000-acre recreation complex with a 20,000-acre lake. We provide daily shuttles where campers can enjoy the beach, visitors center, boating, hiking, frisbee golf, biking, driving golf balls, and more!

  • Benton Farmers Market – Each week we take campers to the local Benton Farmers Market, where they can buy fruit, pastries, souvenirs while taking in the small-town charm.

  • Custard Stand – Cabin groups enjoy delicious outings to the Custard Stand in Sesser, IL, home of the world-famous Dream Cone!

  • Beautiful Southern Illinois – Campers explore nearby state parks for hiking and canoeing adventures.

  • Smoky Mountain 9th Grade Adventure Trip – Scroll down for details!
