In 2006, The Colony was named
the 5th Best Family Resort in the United States by Child magazine!

The Colony loves kids, and kids love The Colony's complimentary children's programs.

Kinder Kamp and Kidding Around are complimentary daily programs of fun-filled activities designed especially for children ages 3-6 and 7-12. Children must be toilet-trained, group-oriented, out of diapers/pull-ups and at least 3 years of age. The program is from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a break for lunch, kids will have a great time. From organized beach games, swimming, fishing and shelling to creative art projects and tennis instruction, and a playground on the beach, enjoy the entire day!

Each day children can look forward to a new and different program of fun while making friends, learning about the wonders of the Gulf of Mexico and developing creative talents.

The Colony's children's programs are designed to provide a day of sun -n- fun for children. A variety of indoor and outdoor activities are offered. All carefully supervised by The Colony's certified, well-trained staff.

Seasonal Programs include Kids Corps (ages 9-12), LBK/FLA for teenager guests and Family Fare; designed with families in mind. Family Fare requires a parent to join the child in fun activities like fishing, fitness, sand sculpture and more.
