Lanier Islands Makes Childs Play of Summer 2015 with Introduction of Legacy Kids Camp

BUFORD, Ga. - May 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Taking a cue from the lakeside resorts of the Adirondacks of the 1950’s and 1960’s blended with the modern day success of its own Legacy Kids Program, Lanier Islands in Georgia has picked Summer 2015 as the ideal time to debut its Legacy Kids Camp. With themes that change from one week to the next, Legacy Kids Camp offers a wealth of edutainment (education + entertainment) to pint-sized patrons of the resort. CPR-certified, fun-focused counselors take campers on daily adventures that include arts & crafts, wellness pursuits, chef experiences, and loads of other amusing activities. One week, little campers may be pirates learning all about water safety; and the next, they might be explorers hunting the world around them to discover nature’s secrets.

“We offer full- and half-day programs on Mondays through Saturdays from Memorial Day all the way up to Labor Day at our flagship hotel, Legacy Lodge,” explained Stephanie Orr, VP of Sales & Marketing for the lakeside resort. “Both programs include a Legacy Kids Camp t-shirt, and full-day programs even include lunch for our campers. This is a wonderful new option for our guests of the resort – particularly parents who are here on business for a conference or company retreat or families who wish to enjoy a little ‘me-time’ in between all of the family-centric fun and memory making they’ll be doing while vacationing at the resort. We’ve made it easy to incorporate into any accommodation package, or guests may elect to take part upon arrival by scheduling the camp with our concierge. This is just another way we’re inviting guests to ‘Discover the Difference’ with Lanier Islands. Our dedication to providing an unsurpassed guest experience with programs like this is what garnered us the recent honors of a Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor and being named a member of the Southern Living Hotel Collection.”

For families who wish to benefit from many of the kid-friendly activities, but don’t necessarily want to commit to a camp experience, the resort offers two other options at Legacy Lodge:

·         Legacy Kids Program: In its second year, the Legacy Kids Program – complimentary to Legacy Lodge guests – is bigger and better than ever before. It all begins with a goody bag at check-in that contains a number of surprises – most important among them: the Legacy Kids VIP bracelet. In addition to access to unlimited popsicles with each visit to the front desk, the VIP bracelet grants little lodgers with access to fully supervised pastimes like arts and crafts, lawn and pool games, and totally off-the-wall activities like painting a pony or taking part in a fun-golf tournament. Parents are welcome to join in on the fun with movies on the lawn, Island Cart Scavenger Hunts and more.

·         Legacy Kids Night Out: Available Friday and Saturday nights from 6 to 9 p.m., Legacy Kids can enjoy an evening away from the folks to let down their hair! For a nominal fee, little lodgers can take part in a fully supervised pizza party, served complete with fun and games. Meanwhile, their parents can enjoy a candlelit dinner at Sidney’s or venture over to Sunset Cove for a cocktail or two.
