The Saturday plan for a Kenyon crowd
Leave campus at three, park on the street or in a downtown lot, and you are throwing by 3:15. An axe-pert walks your lane through the house rules and the throw, then sticks around for tips and tie-breakers, so nobody in the group needs to have done this before.
One person books for the whole party and Summit seats everyone together, up to six throwers per lane across eight lanes. That is a hall, a team, or a club outing on one reservation.
- Family Weekend: book early, Saturdays fill
- Orientation groups and hall outings under one reservation
- Senior week, birthdays, and the last Saturday before break
- Every axe and all the coaching are included
What it costs
Sixty minutes is $30 per person; ninety is $35 and two hours is $40. Coaching and every axe are included. Military members, veterans, and first responders get 10% off if you ask before checkout.
Drinks, food, and the walk back
Happy Street Brü Werks brews on site, with craft beer and hard seltzer for anyone 21 and over. Summit does not serve food, so bring your own or have takeout delivered from the restaurants a block away downtown.
Book before it fills
Live availability. One reservation seats the whole party together.

Good to know
How far is Summit Axe Throwing from Kenyon College?
About five miles, or ten minutes by car, from Gambier along East Gambier Street into downtown Mount Vernon.
Can a group of students book together?
Yes. One person books for the whole party online and Summit seats you together, up to six throwers per lane across eight lanes.
Do we need experience?
No. An axe-pert shows every lane how to throw and stays available through the session.
Is there a minimum age?
Throwers must be at least 10. Anyone under 18 throws with an adult present, and a parent or legal guardian signs the waiver.
Can we drink?
Guests 21 and over can enjoy beer or hard seltzer from Happy Street Brü Werks on site. Anyone too intoxicated to throw safely will be asked to leave without a refund.
What should we wear?
Closed-toed shoes are required. Flannel is optional but encouraged.
Do you take walk-ins on a Saturday?
Yes, when a lane is open, but Saturdays fill. Booking online is the only way to guarantee a start time.
Can we change the reservation?
Give at least 24 hours' notice to move or cancel for a refund. No-shows are not refunded.
