Mammoth is a world-class outdoor recreation destination for a reason, and our campers get to experience it all. Check out the variety of activities available to your camper.
Mountain Biking
Our world-class lift-served bike park provides just the right amount of challenge, and all gear is included, from full-faced helmets, knee pads, gloves and top-of-the-line bikes from Trek. Whether mastering the terrain in our industry-leading Discovery Zone for beginner riders or challenging themselves on bigger trails and features, campers will find just the right balance of fun and skill-based learning from our seasoned instructors.
Mountain Horseback Adventure
After receiving expert riding instruction from professional cowboys, campers hit the trail for a true horseback adventure through the mountains with their guides.
Rock Climbing
Whether ascending the artificial climbing wall at the Adventure Center or climbing at one of the favorite local areas, campers will learn the rock climbing basics, including rope techniques with the safety of top rope routes and an experienced belayer to prevent falling. They will be challenged to push themselves beyond their perceived limits in a safe, fun, supportive teaching environment. The exhilaration of getting to the top of the wall is often a highlight of a camper's week.
Via Ferrata
Campers challenge themselves on our newest adventure – the Via Ferrata. This network of climbing routes on the rugged cliffs of Mammoth Mountain includes steel cables, iron rungs, and a suspended bridge that are all fixed to the rock to assist climbers upwards as well as securely attach them to the rock for safety. With 6 different climbing routes that progress in difficulty, Via Ferrata is the perfect alpine activity for our campers.
Fishing
Campers cast their lines into the crystal clear
waters of the Mammoth Lakes Basin and learn how to fish in some of the
best fishing holes in the country.
Hiking
Mammoth Lakes is home to hundreds of miles of stunning side and backcountry trails. Whether on bikes or on foot, Mammoth adventure campers will find themselves out on the trail daily.
Paddle Boarding or Kayaking
Campers have the opportunity to paddle board or kayak on the crystal clear waters of Lake Mary at Pokonobe Lodge.
Swimming
Nothing beats swimming in mountain lakes and streams, and Mammoth campers have multiple opportunities during the week to cool off and play at our favorite mountain swimming holes.
Zip Line, Climbing Wall, Ropes Course & Bungee Trampoline
Campers take the ride of their lives on our 306-foot long zip line, then come in for a soft landing as they sail nearly 25 feet in the air on this safe and exhilarating apparatus. Our multi-station bungee trampoline is also a big hit with campers, safely allowing kids of all ages to bounce nearly 25 feet in the air to flip and perform gravity defying stunts.
All activities are weather and conditions permitting. Heavy snow years may impact access to sightseeing and camping locations.
