Youth Group Camping Opportunities
A Unique Outdoor Experience
Wayside LodgeThe camping experience for organized youth groups is enhanced by our many historical and natural learning opportunities. There are seven historic structures on the property, including the house in which Daniel Boone was born and raised. Guided Tours of the Boone House are offered daily Tuesday through Sunday. Our nearly six hundred acres also cover a broad range of woodland and wetland environments, and provide an excellent opportunity for children to study ecosystems and a wide variety of plant and animal species. There is also a sensory trail maintained by the Amity Lions Club.
