Children's Program

2008 Program Dates:    June 21 - Aug 23, 2008

Ruttger's resort, and the Bemidji area, offer a tremendous amount of family activities for the whole family to share together. Moms and Dads sometimes like to get away from the kids for a few hours to enjoy a round of golf, a set of tennis, or some time alone. At these times, it's nice to know that there is a supervised place for the kids to enjoy themselves, meet other kids, and have some Minnesota summer fun. The Children's Program runs 6 days per week, Monday through Saturday night. Children love the activities, and Moms and Dads can relax knowing their kids will be well cared for. The program caters to kids ages 4-12. Teens will enjoy many of the activities too. Moms and Dads are welcome to join in the fun, especially at family oriented activities like pizza parties, amazing animals, or family bonfires!

The exact activity schedule does vary, depending on the time of year, number of kids at the resort, weather, and other factors. Check the bulletin board in the Main Lodge Lobby for schedule updates. When kids are signed into the program during meal times, a lunch, or dinner will be served to the children, and a nominal fee will be charged to the room account.
