Our guests tell us that in the summer we resemble a camp for all ages. So instead of dropping your kids off someplace for a week, you join them in the fun! Without food and lodging preparation or clean up to worry about, parents are free to relax and spend quality time with their children. Multiple childcare options also provide the opportunity for adult alone time. Many infant and young toddler items are available upon request, including sleeping and eating supplies. This makes packing for your Capon trip a little lighter. Washers and dryers are easily accessible and free to all. (Laundry soap is provided.)

Once children reach the beginning ages of independence, Capon provides a safe environment where they can play freely. Parents loosen the leash and let them roam further a field, knowing the community of guests gathered will participate in watching over all the kids. This allows children to experience the joy of exploration and adventure unencumbered by fears and dangers inherent in everyday life. They develop the confidence to try and experience new things and meet and make new friends.

In July and August, the same families have returned through four generations creating lasting friendships. Some, having grown up at Capon, want to make sure their future spouse gets the Capon experience. If all goes well, a few come back from a hike to Eagle Rock or White Cliff as an engaged couple! Others take the next step and hold their wedding here or come afterwards for their honeymoon. Then they return to Capon to relive these moments with special anniversaries or birthdays. Capon hosts dozens of 50th wedding and 80th birthday gatherings each season. Contact us about your ideas to hold a special family time at Capon Springs.

Scheduled and unplanned activities provide plenty of vacation fun for all ages. Live musical entertainment, Bingo parties, talent shows and campfire sing-a-longs are highlights of every summer trip at Capon Springs. The sporting events and guest happenings during the week are recorded in a newsletter called “The Capon Weekly”.
