Kids’ Club at Mohonk Mountain House

The Mohonk Kids’ Club is tailored to meet the special interests and needs of our young guests. For the summer, this program is divided into two age groups: Explorers (ages 5 – 6), and Adventurers (ages 7 – 12). Our program also offers a choice of morning and afternoon sessions for all ages, so that parents and children may be flexible in planning their day.

Upon check-in at the Front Desk, you will receive a Registration form and Kids’ Club Activities Schedule. Please complete both sides of a registration/release assumption form for each child who will be enrolled in the Explorers, or Adventurers program, prior to your child’s attending his or her first session. A counselor will review the form and help you enroll your child in his or her first session. If any child has special needs, please provide written instructions for the staff on the registration form. For subsequent sessions during your stay, parents need only bring the child and sign the enrollment form; no further paperwork is necessary.

Please note that registration is limited. Hours and special activities for the day are posted on the Main Bulletin Board located near the Central Stairs.

Each morning and afternoon session begins with a half-hour “get-acquainted period.” This is a time for parents, nannies, baby-sitters, and children to become familiar with the Mohonk Kids’ Club environment. It is also a time for our staff to get to know your child and for parents to get to know the staff who will be leading their children throughout the session. Parents are welcome to stay for the first half-hour of each morning and afternoon session.

However, at the end of each get-acquainted period, we ask that parents leave their child with our capable staff, allowing new friendships to be made as children gain a sense of independence.

9:30am – 12:30pm
2pm – 5pm

After the get-acquainted period, your child will have several main activity choices, including salamander hunts, beading, painted flowers, scavenger hunts, puppet-making and other arts and crafts, parachute games, tennis, boat rides, and a short hike to Lily Pond.

9:30am – 12:30pm
2pm – 5pm

The Adventurers’ Program was created to cater to the needs of our older Mohonk children. Guests ages 7 – 12 have the opportunity to explore their own interests and skills. Activities made available to the Adventurers may include rock scrambling, clay beads, fossil hunts, tennis clinics, kite and paper-making, and sports tournaments.

Adventurers are also welcome to join in the Explorers afternoon session. In addition, on a daily basis, the Adventurers’ own suggestions will be incorporated into the schedule in response to their varied interests.
