Often referred to as “an amusement park for the mind,” this family friendly lakeside community shines in the summertime, with nine weeks of performing arts, lectures, workshops, interfaith worship and recreational opportunities. While adults refresh their minds and souls at “Culture Camp,” kids in grades 2 to 10 can sign up for traditional summer day camp programs. Half-day programs for children ages 3 to 5 and a full-day program for children age 6 are also offered. For visitors 13 and over, a weekly gate pass is required to participate in regular summer activities. Weekly passes grant access to beaches, parks and complimentary shuttle service. Single day passes, along with event tickets for special evening concerts and performances, such as the Family Entertainment Nights, are also available.
