Scout Groups {Show|Hide}
Scouting is a great leadership development organization. During the fall, our programs can help scout leaders accomplish their goals using our corn maze and maze games as tools to engage youth in problem-solving exercises, while enjoying fitness and fun. Our Corn Maze with 3 interactive games, covering over 10 acres, challenges Scouts to explore group decision-making options and explore leadership roles, all while having fun. After all, fun is what it's all about and getting lost is a lot of fun.
Camping and campfire nights available.

Youth Groups {Show|Hide}
It is often not the goal that is most important in life, but the journey. You face a lot of challenges leading youth today, not the least of which is "leveling the field." Kids grow up with such different backgrounds, friends, pressures, families, and schools. It can be hard to get them to see that they are all on the same journey.
That's where Fruit Ridge Hayrides Youth Group outings come in. Our new fall corn maze adventure can help your group become cohesive. You see the maze doesn't care what color you are, rich or poor, cool or square, nerd or jock. The maze is simply a bigger problem than any one person can solve. Everyone needs help. The choice becomes clear: work together and escape, or go it alone and get frustrated. At every intersection you make decisions, and every decision has consequences. Sound familiar? That's why mazes have been around for thousands of years. Mazes are an ancient metaphor for life. Chances are your group won't see the lesson coming, until you discuss it with them around the campfire.
In addition to the Corn Maze, our other attractions are also great for youth groups and make for a memorable experience.
