Family Activities

The resort and surrounding parks offer activities both day and night. Within miles there is a dinosaur park, surf park and nature park. Who knew you could dig fossils, go surfing and hike all in one trip? Stay at the resort during your time off and float down the lazy river or splash in the water park! Although it’s too early in the year for the full resort activity schedule, we will keep you up to date as soon as it is released. Until then, check out Lost Pines Activities for more information.

McKinney Roughs Nature Park offers 18 miles of trail along the Colorado River through beautiful woods for walking, running or wandering. Other adventure activities offered include canopy zip line tours, horseback riding, and kayaking. Make reservations for activities that require a guide and/or gear. Entrance to the park is FREE for children under 12, $5 per adult, and $2 per adult ages 65 and older.

Free child care during sessions!

You learn, while they play

If your family does join you, free child care is available by volunteers while you attend conference sessions! We hope this service will allow you to focus during sessions and enjoy family time between them. Child care is not offered during activities outside of conference.
