Cracker Creek Summer Camp Programs

If you’re looking for a fun and memorable day trip for your summer campers, then look no further! Now in our fourth year of operation, Cracker Creek continues to provide visitors a unique opportunity to experience one of the areas greatest historical and ecological treasures. We have hosted a number of groups the past three summers, providing either educational or recreational activities. We have a large covered pavilion with table seating and a stage providing an area for performances or presentations. Our location, on the western end of scenic Spruce Creek, is ideal for a number of recreational uses including canoeing, kayaking, fishing, hiking and camping. The Cracker Creek staff includes talented historic interpreters and themed characters that participate in a number of our offerings including educational programs, Pirate Boat Cruise, Themed Story Time and birthday parties.
