SOME ACTIVITIES ARE SEASONAL; check with Trout Lodge Front Desk for information, and for maps of area attractions.
Guests with reservations are encouraged to sign up in advance for activities. Schedules are available beginning Thursday morning, one week prior to arrival. You may contact the Front Desk or Country Store. (314-241-9622 or 573-438-2154)
Our staff are thoroughly trained in the activity in which they are leading, however it is still the responsibility of the supervising adult of a child age 14 and under to:
- Remain at the activity until the activity is completed (regardless of the age requirement to participate in an activity).
- Assist child if needed
- Maintain a prescence on behalf of the child, and escort the child from the activity once it is completed.
- Our staff makes every effort possible to accommodate as they are able and it is appropriate, however they cannot be responsible for your child after the activity is complete, as there are other guests requiring their attention as well.
Thank you

ARTS & CRAFTS CENTER
The Arts & Crafts Center, located in the Recreation Building, offers countless opportunities for you and your family to exercise your creativity.
Each week's Arts & Crafts center hours are listed in our Activity Schedule. Because some projects are only available at certain times of the day when instructors are available to teach and assist, we recommend checking with Arts & Crafts to make sure enough time allows during your stay to complete your project.
