Follow the red trail marks around the pond for a good look at beaver lodges, dams, and chewing. Take-along cards for this self-guided nature trail are at the boat dock.
Walk on the Pond Trail (red markers) just past the swim area, then look for the green markers. This is the Prayer Trail. It is a short trail with suggested devotional activities and many beautiful places to stop and reflect.
The cupboard at the outdoor chapel has devotional books, Bibles, tape recorders and tapes of devotional music for you to enjoy.
The mailbox at the swim area contains a volleyball, a kickball, and badminton rackets for use in the sports area by the volleyball net.
The craft area is just up hill from the beach and contains a covered picnic area, a water spigot and the craft wagon. The craft wagon has craft supplies that you are welcome to use any time. Please follow the posted directions and clean up when you are finished.
You can borrow kites, Frisbees, kick balls or badminton rackets for use in the barn or at your site. Just ask the Program Director. Ping pong balls and birdies are for sale at the store. We sell these items so that you will have one in good condition whenever you want throughout your stay.
We have pie irons, Dutch ovens, marshmallow forks, and hand-crank ice cream makers for you to borrow. See the Program Director for instructions and recipes. Attend the Monday On-Site Insight program to learn how to use some of this equipment.
Learn about the animals and plants at Kingswood. You'll find lots of information in the nature guides (there are more located in the craft wagon). The Nature Room also houses some more advanced nature books.
Read a book from our library or borrow one to read at your site. Look for the more advanced nature books further back in the nature room. Some fascinating nature videos and DVDs are found upstairs in the barn. Or work on a puzzle or play a game. Feel free to bring them to the beach or your campsite and then return them. Great for those rainy days.
You'll find t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweat pants, toothbrushes, toothpaste, games, batteries, mantles, propane, ice cream, and soda available in the store. Look on the door for the posted hours or ask any staff member. We also sell ice (by the gallon or a bag of cubes) in the barn. Follow the directions on the door of the freezer. Wood is available for sale in the parking lot across from the farmhouse. Directions are on the rack.
You'll find a display in the barn with a map of Binghamton, brochures from area points of interest, and directions to the local Sunday pancake breakfast and ice cream stand.
Kingwood Quiet Hours begin at 10pm. Please be considerate of other campers and keep your voices quiet in your campsite after 10pm. Sound travels very far in the cool of the evening and early morning hours. Thank you!!
