Experience
There is so much to do on the Mountain that it is hard to encompass in just a few sentences, but we’ll try. For starters, we offer one of the best camps for kids in northwest Arkansas; you can interact with art and artists through Creative Spaces; you can learn about cooking, pairing, and plating while enjoying some of the tastiest food in Fayetteville; plus swimming, tennis, and ample green space. Come play with us!

Creative Spaces at Mount Sequoyah plays a vital role within the vibrant northwest Arkansas arts community.

Pool
The pool at Mount Sequoyah provides a place for relaxation, lessons, and play to our campers, to partner organizations, and to the public. The surrounding landscape provides a respite for parents watching children learn and play. The large pool ensures everyone has space and fitness swimmers have room to work.
Many other organizations and groups, including Mount Sequoyah’s swim team The Marlins, use the pool, in addition to members and guests. Pool hours must be shared. Please check the online pool schedule here. Open swim indicates it is open to the members, guests, and day passes.
