We have two age-appropriate Zip Lines at Camp Hillard. This popular activity begins with our 4 year olds and is a safe and controlled adventure in which you walk up stairs to a platform and then experience the thrill of zipping down a long cable. Campers entering 1st grade and older also experience the "giant swing" called the Flying Squirrel and our 30 ft. Climbing Wall.

The Camp Hillard Mini-Golf course provides campers with a unique opportunity to begin to develop golf skills in a very fun and exciting way.

GOLF SKILLS CENTER AND DRIVING RANGE
The Camp Hillard Golf Skills Center provides campers with the opportunity to learn golf skills in a fun and successful way. This facility incorporates practice putting greens to teach putting skills, a sand trap, a 3 station golf driving range and a 6 station SNAG range. The golf skills center utilizes a program called SNAG Golf (Starting New At Golf), a program that introduces golfers to the fundamentals of driving, pitching and chipping skills.

The driving range allows more experienced campers to drive real golf balls with real clubs.
