Kid’s Guide to Skamania

We know little adventurers love to explore just as much as adults. That’s why we’ve created a guide just for kids, highlighting all the fun activities, scavenger hunts, game room options, and seasonal adventures happening around the Lodge. Whether it’s a rainy-day game indoors or an outdoor discovery trail, this page is your go-to resource to keep the whole family engaged and smiling.
