Callaway Resort & Gardens Unveils “Summer at Callaway”

PINE MOUNTAIN, GA – Callaway Resort & Gardens is excited to announce the debut of Summer at Callaway, a new all-inclusive seasonal experience that brings the magic of summer camp to life for the entire family. Designed to appeal to multi-generational travelers, the program offers flexible, sunrise-to-sunset activities for guests of all ages, from young children to grandparents.

Replacing the resort’s long-standing Summer Family Adventure series, Summer at Callaway expands on its legacy by offering even more variety, personalization, and convenience. Guests can choose to participate in structured, themed activities or unwind and explore the resort at their own pace.

“Summer at Callaway is more than a vacation, it’s a chance for families to unplug, reconnect, and rediscover the joy of summer together,” said David Ryan, Vice President and General Manager at Callaway Resort & Gardens. “Our expanded programming ensures that every generation, from young children to grandparents, has something meaningful and fun to enjoy.”

A Week of Themed Experiences

Each day of the week features a different theme such as Nature & Discovery, Relaxation & Wellness, or Hawaiian Day, with morning-to-afternoon sessions divided by age group (children 5–17 and adults 21+). Sample activities include:

• Birdhouse building, bug encounters, and survival classes for kids
• Mobile photography, wine & charcuterie workshops, and yoga for adults
• Family time in the afternoons with beach volleyball, scavenger hunts, or bike tours
• Evening entertainment ranging from glow-in-the-dark games to live DJ dance parties and beachfront luau celebrations (ticketed separately)

Summer at Callaway Packages include overnight accommodations, access to daily themed activities and entertainment, and lunch for program participants. Families are encouraged to “choose their own adventure,” whether that means engaging in every available offering or opting for a more laid-back stay surrounded by Callaway’s natural beauty.

This all-inclusive program is ideal for multi-generational vacations, with something tailored to every interest and energy level—whether it’s a child’s first camp-style experience or a grandparent’s chance to simply enjoy quality time with loved ones.

Guests are encouraged to arrive early or extend their stay to explore Callaway Resort & Gardens’ signature attractions, including the awe-inspiring Birds of Prey show, the tropical Cecil B. Day Butterfly Center, and miles of scenic biking, hiking, and ziplining trails. Golfers can play on championship courses, while families can take part in additional seasonal workshops like flower pressing, lakeside yoga, and herbal foraging.

Summer at Callaway runs from June 2 through July 26, with limited availability during peak weeks. Luau dinners are offered on select weekend nights and require a separate ticket.

Callaway offers a variety of accommodations suited to every family size and travel style. Guests can choose from:

• The Lodge & Spa – A full-service, upscale hotel with modern amenities and views of the gardens
• Cottages & Villas – Perfect for families or multi-generational groups, these spacious options include full kitchens, living rooms, screened patios, fireplaces, and outdoor grills
