  • Pack Accordingly: Bring swimwear, water shoes, sunscreen, bug spray, and reusable water bottles.
  • Book Early: Zip‑line and tubing spots fill up—reserve early via the Community Center or website.
  • Off‑Resort Essentials: For waterfall hikes, wear sturdy shoes and bring layers and snacks—summer thunderstorms may pop up.
