Summer at The Treehouse

Wintergreen children's programs have been a favorite for our members and guests since we opened our doors. Not only are we now teaching the children of past campers, some of our counselors were once excited campers themselves!

The Treehouse, headquarters for fun, offers activities and programs for children ages 2½ and older. They'll explore nature (try a night hike), color a masterpiece, meet live animals and more - all in a supervised atmosphere that promotes learning and stimulates inquiring young minds. Don't tell the kids that - they think they're just having fun!

The Treehouse is open daily June 9 - Sep. 5.
Open weekends only April 12 - June 8 and Sept. 6 - Nov. 2.
