Playspaces

Step Aboard for Ports of Play

Rolling River’s three custom nautical-themed playgrounds transform camp into a private island filled with pirates, beaches, boats, and nautical friends. Campers climb, run, and explore in safe, exciting spaces where imagination sets sail and playtime creates lasting memories.

Overview

Our playspaces are custom designed, each with its own unique theme that transports campers into imaginative worlds. With guided play, interactive elements, and built-in games, every playground encourages creativity, movement, and exploration.

Harboring Play and Discovery

Safety is a top priority on our playgrounds, which feature specialized surfaces such as sand, pebbles, and foam flooring to help cushion falls and keep play safe and fun. Each playground includes designated lookout points for counselors to ensure constant supervision at all times. Playgrounds are scheduled at least once per day, giving campers important non-instructional play time that encourages movement, creativity, and social connection.

Nautical Themed Playgrounds

Pebble Beach Pirate Playground 

Shiver Me Timbers! This multi-level, pirate-themed playground features slides, tunnels, smokestacks, cannons and other climbing structures. Campers can climb aboard our resident pirate ships, The Jolly Roger and the The Black Pearl, to search for buried treasure or follow Jack Sparrow’s map to go on a hunt to collect hidden jewels.

Stingray Cay Playground

Sink your toes in the sand at our Caribbean Beach themed playground. Stingray Cay, home to our mascot “Ray”, features rope climbs, slides, surfboard climbers, a lifeguard lookout deck and much more. Use your imagination at the “Snack Shack” to cook up a seaside BBQ or join Ray’s band at “Calypso Corner”. This playground features interactive sprinklers and misters to keep campers cool.

Seascape Playground 

Ahoy mateys, it’s time to embark on a playground experience that is themed as a riverside boat. This enclosed playscape features slides, climbers, cargo nets, tunnels and more. Aquatic animal statues, including sea lions, iguanas and turtles, add to the fun-filled nautical experience.
