LVKBungeeDSweb   LEAF is family-friendly
fun & traditions!

“The 'LEAF' tradition really amplifies the meaning of family in the most positive sense I've seen at any event!”
- a LEAF member.

Laugh, smile and create memories in a perfect setting as you engage in a multitude of activities with your kids, family and friends. Dance, enjoy music, juggle, unicycle, play dress up, kayak, canoe, face paint, swim, zipline, play mini-golf, explore the woods & streams, do family yoga, eat yummy food, carry puppets in parade, watch evening fire shows...so many possibilities.
