Below are examples of the kinds of activities offered at RDC during a given week:
Hiking: We lead half-day hikes in the Squam Lakes Region and more strenuous full-day hikes in the White Mountains.
Softball: On Sunday afternoons, we play family softball on the ball field. The pace picks up a bit at the employee vs. guest game on Wednesdays.
Tennis: On Monday mornings we offer a Mixed Doubles Round Robin.
Wee Campers Program is available for 3-5 year old children Monday thru Friday from 9:30 a.m. to noon. This is a relaxed and well-supervised morning playgroup.
Boat Tours: Learn about the environment and history of Squam Lake on a cruise aboard our pontoon boat each Monday and Wednesday afternoon.
Capture the Flag: Monday night isn't the same without the traditional game on the ball field for those under 20. Parents may play with children under five.
Loon Island Picnics: Six to twelve year olds are invited to swim, play and cook out on Loon Island for lunch on Tuesday. Tuesday evenings on the island are reserved for adults.
Talent Show: On some Thursday nights, guests and employees are invited to share their talents in our bi-weekly talent show. Read a poem! Dance a jig! Play the tuba!
Square Dances: Friday night square dances are an old tradition at RDC and are not to be missed!
Wacky Canoe Races: On Thursdays, the Wacky Canoe Races offer boating fun for the whole family. Bring your canoe or rent one from RDC and compete in wacky races such as: the standing canoe race, hand paddling, or the classic switch-places-with-your-partner-when-the-horn-blows.
Pinehurst Classic 5K Road Race starts on the ball field on most Thursday afternoons. Run or walk for your health, a little competition, or simply for fun!
Environmental Education: Join the staff from the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center for an informative walk into RDC’s natural environment. Tuesday morning walks are geared toward children, while the Thursday walks are planned with adults in mind. On Monday mornings, the Science Center also offers a lake ecology boat tour called "Aqua Lab." Weather permitting, the boat leaves from the Rockywold main dock.
Teens: Special activities such as a boat trip to "jumping rock,” rock climbing at the Rock Barn, and other extravaganzas are offered. Check the Sneak-A-Peek for details!
Vespers: On Sunday evenings, we offer you a chance to enjoy and reflect on the beauty of your surroundings with readings and popular hymns. We invite you to bring a reading along to the outdoor location at Flagstaff Point.
Other Activities: You may also look forward to mini triathlons, bicycle tours, scavenger hunts, evening presentations, movies, parades, tie-dying and much, much more.
