The Summer at Stratton: A Cool Place for Kids

The Summer at Stratton: A Cool Place for Kids

 

STRATTON MOUNTAIN, Vt. – This summer, Stratton Mountain has the cure for summer vacation boredom and offers the perfect reply to the inevitable, “There’s nothing to do”. At Stratton there’s always something new for kids to discover; from the breezy summit of Southern Vermont’s highest mountain to Stratton Village at over 1,800 feet in elevation, to the river-filled valleys below, opportunities are endless.

 

Opening May 26 in Stratton’s Sun Bowl, Avalanche Paint Ball delivers the action with four different paintball games to choose from for kids 10 and up. Capture the Flag Firefight, Rabbit, Attack and Defend, and Bounty Hunter are all group friendly while those looking for a little less action can test their aim with target practice. Rental packages, including a Tippmann Custom 98 marker, goggles, field fee, 500 paintballs and air, are just $50 plus tax.

 

Kids who have been playing golf since they could stand and those who have never picked up a club before will find the Junior Golf session at Golf U fun exciting and beneficial to their game. Golf U guarantees a better game for every one of its students and Junior Golf, for ages 7 – 14, delivers an easy to understand, comfortable but intensive program for three days, July 23 – 25 for $549, and for two days, July 28 – 29 for $519.

 

Parents will find more structured fun at Stratton’s KidsKamp on weekdays and select weekends. The full day programs offer adventure and exploration around Stratton Mountain and trips to nearby attractions, including hiking and berry picking.

 

The fun continues with endless opportunities just beyond the resort’s boundaries, like the nearby Bromley Fun Zone, with alpine slides, devil carts, a climbing wall and zip line; one of the local swimming holes, like the rock walls of Pikes Falls; or, the Winhall School skatepark, the first and only public concrete bowl in Vermont, just 3 miles from the resort.
