Wintergreen Resort isn't just for skiing! This Virginia spot has plenty to offer in the Spring and Summer for all ages. 

Discovery Ridge Adventure Center within Wintergreen Resort is your one-stop shop for all different kinds of indoor and outdoor activities that can keep you entertained for days. The Adventure Center has active indoor games like a Ninja Warrior Obstacle course, gem mining, a wall for bouldering, and arcade games such as air hockey, pool tables, and even wiis. The outdoor activities include bungee trampolining, scaling the climbing tower, and playing miniature golf. 

The Zip is another super popular activity at Wintergreen, and for good reason! Get a thrill ziplining down 900 feet up to 40 miles an hour! You must be at least 8 years old and 75 pounds to partake. 

Summer tubing is another great way to get a thrill. Appropriately named "The Plunge", this tubing experience is compared to being on top of a ten-story building and going downhill for longer than three football fields at speeds up to 30 mph. This winter favorite may even be better in the summer! Tubing is recommended for ages 6 and up. There is a statement that riders agree to acknowledge the risks in tubing on their ticket when purchased. 

Ridgely's Fun Park offers lawn games, campfires, s'mores, and outdoor movies that are great for younger kids to play and have fun. 

If you are eager to get into some water, look no further. The Aquatics and Fitness Center has an indoor pool open year-round and an outdoor pool that opens for the season on Memorial Day Weekend through Labor Day. You can also go into the valley and swim in Lake Monocan or relax on their sandy beach. 

Of course, hiking is a great and active option for warm weather fun! The resort has 30 miles of hiking for all different skill levels. There are hiking guides available for $3 at the Adventure Center or Front Desk. 

Fly fishing is also available on the Shenandoah, James, and Jackson Rivers all around the resort. You can book a guide or go on your own for a fun family outing!

Natalie Proctor is what some would call a “Southern transplant” in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She grew up in Memphis, Tennessee before attending the University of Arkansas to pursue a degree in advertising and public relations with a minor in marketing logistics. Natalie attributes her love of the outdoors to her parents always encouraging her to have a deep appreciation for nature and all that the world has to offer. As a family, they spent many years growing up going on camping trips, skiing, rafting, and traveling together. While Natalie loves the seasonal lifestyle in Jackson, she was ready to become a part of something bigger and challenge herself. She found Happy Active Family at the perfect time, upon meeting Caitlin and Thomas, and strives to help other families spend meaningful time together, just as she has been able to with her own.
