Activities
Axe Throwing
Got what it takes to hit a target with an axe? Grab some friends and family and check out our Axe Throwing Range!
Arrow Tag
Like dodgeball, but with bows and arrows!! Don’t worry though: our arrows have a large foam pad on the end so they will safely bounce off players and obstacles. Our Arrow Tag Course is the perfect size for a friendly skirmish so grab some friends and come channel your inner Hawkeye! Bows, foam-padded arrows, and facemasks provided.
Climbing Wall
Our 40-foot climbing wall is a blast for all ages! Different levels of difficulty can provide a challenge for everyone. When not climbing, enjoy the attached lookout tower, where you can observe 100 feet over the Platte River!
High Ropes Course
Our high ropes course contains three elements that will push you to your limits. Walk across a log in mid-air, balance on a high wire, or take the leap of faith and jump off of the pamper pole. It is a thrilling experience and provides a fun, action-packed activity for young and old alike.
Swimming Pool
Dive off the high dive into our 12-foot pool. If you prefer to relax in the cool of the pool, enjoy our shallow side, which ranges from 3 to 5 feet. The pool is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
Challenge & Initiatives Course
Challenge your group to grow closer and work as a team as we push you to use critical thinking skills to solve problems on this unique course. This is a great teambuilding activity for schools, youth groups, adult groups, and mission teams. From encouraging your teammates to balance on a wire, to your entire group working their way across an obstacle course, there are opportunities for everyone to both shine and be challenged!
Archery & Slingshot Range
Could you be the next Hawkeye? Test your skill and accuracy with our covered archery range! Or, try out our old-west-style slingshot shooting range. Both archery and slingshot are included in one package, and includes all equipment and staffing.

Whether you want a campfire by the river, conveniently located by your lodging, deep into the woods, or centrally located for a large group gathering, we can offer a campfire pit for you! Camp Rivercrest has several fire pits located all around the camp. Campfire wood for your event is FREE!
Giant Swing
You and your group will have loads of fun on our 30-foot swing set. After getting strapped in, your team will pull you as high above the ground as your heart desires. Then, let go and enjoy a thrilling ride!
Paintball Course
