Group Activities and Schedule

We are excited to be beginning our thirty-second year of operation. 

 

 

Saturday Groups

 

The activities available are listed on the sample schedule. If you would like to have optional activities, select the number of hours you would like on the contract.  If you want additional hours of the Cable Ride or Boat Slide mark that on the contract as well. 

The Petting Zoo includes animals to pet and hold such as baby goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, lambs, bunnies, and kittens. It also includes various exotic animals to see, including the Marmoset Monkey, the McCall Parrott and the Llama. 

To help make the picnic relaxing for you, we have a coordinator who will help you with the following activities: planning and organizing the activities, making announcements, and helping in any way needed. The coordinator will also be available to help you with any of the following activities:

  • Sack Races

  • Tug-of-War

  • Cake Walks

  • Adventure Games

  • Parachute Games

  • Water Balloon Toss

  • Money Dive

  • Bingo

  • Capture the Flag

  • Relays

  • Candy Scramble

There is no charge, but you must provide your own peanuts, candy, cakes, and general prizes. Also tournaments may be arranged in activities such as horseshoes, volleyball, badminton, and bombardment. Any other games may be organized at your request. We are here to serve you! Please let us know how we can take the responsibility off you!

Antietam Recreation welcomes pre-arranged extras such as clowns, caricature artists, face painters, or other special performers. Some groups have had a moon bounce, dunking booth, slip-n-slide, or other special extras.

Cowboy Christmas: Come back with us to the Old West for a Christmas experience you will not soon forget!  Friday and Saturday evenings from 6:00-9:00 in November and December.
