Kidulting 101 — Summer Fun for Adults

It may look a classic, old-school style summer camp, but you’re certainly not “roughing it” at Club Getaway in Kent, which had its own Bravo TV reality show! At this rustic, all-inclusive resort, adult campers stay in comfortable country cabins overlooking the scenic lake and mountains. Water ski, wakeboard, kayak or sail on the sparkling lake. Trampoline, try the trapeze or trek through the woods on a mountain bike or zip line. And of course, there are classes in everything from jewelry making to wine tasting, too.

Experience the joy of zipping around on a Segway, while enjoying a scenic guided tour of downtown Guilford, Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison or even Mystic. It takes a little practice to get your balance right, but with the guidance of the folks at Shoreline Segway, you’ll be zipping around on trails and back streets in no time.

You’ve always loved going fast. And at Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, you’ve watched the pros fly around the track for years. What if you could get out there and feed your own need for speed?  Thompson offers driving experiences that put you in the driver’s seat, giving you a chance to test your skills in a professional setting.

You haven’t played Ultimate Dodgeball until you’ve played it on trampoline. And now grownups are working out years of playground trauma in this safe, but extreme setting. If the weather outside looks dodgy, get your gang together and book a private Ultimate Dodgeball game at Norwalk’s SkyZone Trampoline Park for a 30^th birthday party or an action-packed night out.

Discover the excitement of climbing and ziplining above the forest floor with your family, friends, co-workers or teammates. 

At Foxwoods' HighFlyer Zipline, zip 350 feet in the air from the world's only zipline off a 33 story hotel tower! It's sure to be thrilling and breathtaking fun for all.

As a kid, you loved spending time in the great outdoors. Exploring the woods, searching for wildlife, getting your hands dirty while getting back to nature. The Connecticut Audubon Society has locations throughout the state, and they are always looking for adult volunteers to help with animal and bird care and outdoor projects. From Pomfret to Milford, Greenwich to Glastonbury, you can find a location that needs summer volunteers—and rediscover the explorer in yourself, too.

Remember what it was like to follow clues and collect prizes on a scavenger hunt?  In Connecticut, we’ve got all kinds of specialty trails that give you a chance to recapture that excitement. Connecticut Wine Country has a passport that lets you collect stamps for a grand prize giveaway. The Connecticut Art Trail passport offers discounts on admission to all 18 partner museums. That’s not all. Connecticut also has a Beer Trail passport, a Chocolate Trail, a Spirits Trail, a Farmer’s Market Trail, and more. Get your friends together and out there on the trail!
