Northgate Resorts will reopen the former Girl Scout camp in Golden Valley as a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort on Wednesday, Aug. 1.
“We’re very excited to reopen this beautiful campground at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains as a Jellystone Park Camp-Resort,” said Zachary Bossenbroek, CEO of Grand Rapids, Mich.-based Northgate Resorts. “The park will initially be open for cabin and tent rentals, though we will have other camping options available, including glamping tents, later this year. We’ll be adding RV sites for our 2019 camping season.”
Activities will include a jumping pillow and jumping pad, canoeing and kayaking, swimming in the lake, outdoor movies, a playground, scavenger hunts, volleyball, basketball, hiking trails, horseshoes, arts & crafts, Gaga ball, gem-mining, “Hey Hey” Wagon Rides, Candy Bar Bingo, and dance parties.
A “Double Dare Week” is scheduled for Aug. 20-26. Activities will include a pie-eating contest, root beer chugging and green slime relays.
There will also be six consecutive Halloween themed weekends starting Sept. 21 with campsite and cabin decorating contests, costume parades with the bears, pumpkin painting contests and trick or treating.
