Grownups Get in on Summer Camp Fun at Birmingham, AL Hotel

BIRMINGHAM, AL--(Marketwired - Jun 24, 2013) - Summer camp isn't just for kids anymore. At the Renaissance Birmingham Ross Bridge Golf Resort & Spa, the concept has been updated to apply to couples and families who want the best of the camp experience -- biking, sculpting, golfing and even the occasional massage -- and none of the bad (bug spray and cold showers). This version is known as Camp Kilt, and it's revitalizing everyone's summer vacation.

Drawing on the Hoover, Alabama hotel's Scottish influences, Camp Kilt takes a hearty approach to recreation. The complimentary camp features an action-packed schedule that changes weekly, so guests enjoy a variety of options. Sunrise Stretching & Yoga, for example, may appeal to some, while others can opt for a pastry class. Golf and tennis clinics are also available, and kids of every age (including those at heart) will enjoy activities like poolside hula-hoop contests and horseshoe tosses. Some classes are led by local experts, and others are helmed by Ross Bridge recreation team members, but all of them enhance the experiences of guests at these Birmingham accommodations.

Even business travelers can get in on the fun. (Why not squeeze in a lobby massage before the day's conference?) The resort is ranked sixth among Renaissance properties across the country for meetings, but with 248 rooms, 11 suites, nine meeting rooms, a Robert Trent Jones-designed golf course and a 12,000-square-foot spa, the resort appeals to vacationers and business travelers alike. Should guests want to see the town, the hotel is conveniently located near a number of attractions like Samford University, Aldridge Gardens and the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute. This hotel in Birmingham with restaurant options galore caters to all, as there are four onsite restaurants to choose from, while guests can also easily head into town to see what culinary options await in Birmingham.

Although there is plenty to see and do at the resort and in the surrounding area, Camp Kilt will only be available until Labor Day (September 2, 2013), so travelers are encouraged to book their trip soon!
