Travel Plans

All travel arrangements need to be coordinated by the parents.

Finger Lake State Park is only 1.25 miles from our beautiful facility that sits on 10 acres. Driving your RV or renting a camper will provide you as a parent a few days to relax and enjoy yourself while your child is at camp. We are also only 10 minutes from Columbia, MO where you can instead stay at a comfortable hotel and indulge in great food and shopping.
