Sunnyhill Adventure Center

This is a great little retreat or camp place!
Came here for a St Clare Hospital function and had never heard of Sunnyhill before. It is situated on over 50 acres in Dittmer, MO. At first this was a little hard to find but once you pull into the property it lays out very nice. There is TONS to do here. Of course I brought all of the kiddos to enjoy the center. They have Archery, Swimming, rock wall climbing, a zip-​line, paddle boats/​canoeing and of course fishing. We started out by the lake to try and beat the heat. The lake is several acres big but not «large» by any means. It is stocked with at least catfish and bluegill. You are almost guaranteed to catch a fish. Even my 2 year old caught a bluegill. It was all catch and release of course.
Next we tried the Zip-​line. They stated it goes up to 30 mph which was plenty fast for my 7 year old. She did have to zip with me but that wasn’t a problem. You actually zipline over the lake and it was very nice and controlled. We then walked over to the swimming pool and pavilion to take part in the snacks and swim. The pool is about 3 feet in the shallow end and was perfect for the warm day. They did have an inflatable water slide right next to the pool as well.
We finished the afternoon with BBQ and snacks.
I had the opportunity to meet the director or owner of Sunnyhill and she was very pleasant. Sunnyhill acts as a summer camp for disabled children during 10 weeks in the summer. The camp is overnight so the campers arrive on a Sunday afternoon and stay until Friday night. This provides a great opportunity for parents and caregivers to get a little break during the week. They hire about 27 counselors from all over the world. All of the counselors we met on that day were wonderful. They were very pleasant and excited to be at Sunnyhill for a great cause.
It seems Sunnyhill is open also for corporate retreats and other events.
