Guided Canoeing on the Santa Fe River

*This is not our regular canoes on the spring dock. This is a special trip for canoers who want a different experience. Signups required.

Meet at the Gym parking lot and ride the yellow bus to the river. Please arrive ten minutes early before your reservation time to allow ample travel time. We will be putting in at the Stillwaters Lodge entry, and canoeing one-way down the river. Our camp staff will pick you up from the end point and bring you back to camp.

*Regular canoeing on our spring is still available*

SnoCone Stand

Stop by anytime within the hour the SnoCone stand is open and enjoy a cold treat.

Ichetucknee Tubing

Details listed below at the bottom of the page.

Model Rockets ($$)

Build a model rocket from our pre-made kits and join us for the launch! See schedule for times. Please note that this year we have had to add an additional cost to this activity, due to the high-cost nature of materials. Rather than removing it from our program, we are offering it with an additional $12 fee per rocket kit. We hope costs can equalize out in the future.

Family Movie Night

Featuring "Finding Nemo". Join us for Popcorn & movie at the Spring Chapel. We encourage you to bring a pillow & blanket, as there is an open floor to lounge out.

Kulaqua County Rodeo

Bring your whole family to have some laughs, watch horse games as our contestants compete, and play games while sipping a lemonade. Our Rodeo will feature a Flag Parade, kids horse competitions, speed races between wranglers, a rodeo clown, and whip cracking demonstrations.

During the rodeo events there will also be County Fair games in the same area! Photo-op with a tractor, ring toss, lollipop draw, rootbeer stand, and more! Explore the booths and enjoy with your family.
