Group outings and field trips

Give your group an unforgettable day on the lake. Outdoor activities, team bonding, and lakefront fun for schools, scouts, churches, and youth organizations.

The field trip they'll talk about all year

Velocity Island Park is the perfect destination for schools, churches, scout troops, YMCA groups, summer programs, day cares, and youth organizations looking for an active, outdoor experience near Sacramento.

Our lakefront property offers a range of activities for all ages and abilities. Younger kids can play on the beach while older participants tackle the aqua park or learn to wakeboard. With trained lifeguards on duty, on-site food options at Costa Fuego, and a staff experienced in hosting large groups, we make it easy for organizers to plan a day their group will love.

Group rates are available for parties of 20 or more. Contact us for a custom quote based on your group size and preferred activities.

Frequently asked questions about group visits

What is the minimum group size for group rates?

Group rates are available for parties of 20 or more guests. For smaller groups, our standard admission and activity pricing applies. Contact us to discuss your group's needs.

Can younger children participate if they don't meet the aqua park age requirement?

Yes. Children under 6 who cannot use the aqua park can enjoy the swim beach, play on the sand, and participate in non-water activities. There is plenty for younger kids to do while older participants are on the aqua park or wakeboarding.

Do you accommodate groups with special needs or accessibility requirements?

Absolutely. Our facilities are ADA accessible, and our staff is experienced in accommodating groups with diverse needs. Please let us know about any specific requirements when you contact us so we can plan accordingly.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance, especially during the summer season (May through September). Popular dates fill up quickly. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility we have with scheduling.
