Afternoons can be added for an additional $100.00/week
VOYAGER PROGRAMS
This program is designed to serve campers from five years old, up to and including ten year old campers. The program will be broken down into two age groups:
Rangers : Ages 5-7
Guides: Ages 8-10
These groupings will allow us to tailor the camp experience and the activities offered to specific developmental needs and levels. Activities designed for our youngest campers will by necessity be more counselor driven, while those offered for the older groups will be progressively more camper focused, allowing them the opportunity to engage in more complex projects, games, and activities better suited to their ages and abilities. This summer, we will continue with the activity specialist model for the Voyager program. Campers will still benefit from the close counselor relationship while experiencing the expertise of the specialists in each area.
Rangers: Ages 5-7
Rangers is an ideal camp for kids looking to have fun in a relaxed and supportive atmosphere. You’ll rekindle old friendships from summers past, or make new friends that will last a lifetime as you journey through the week. You’ll create craft projects, science experiments, and have fun with sports activities that all relate to the theme of the week.
Guides: Ages 8-10
Guides are the highest level of our Voyagers group, and serve as a bridge to the Adventure Programs. Here we’ll push your limits creatively, intellectually, and on the sports fields.

In our adventure camps, teens and pre-teens can get outside, challenge themselves, and make new friends.
ADVENTURE PROGRAMS
Our Adventure Programs are split into two different age groups. Campers who are ages 10 through 12 will join the Pathfinders program; campers who are 13 through 16 will join the Trailblazers program. While all ages can still experience the same great adventure programming, they’ll be able to do it with age-appropriate peers. We do this for an important reason: We can focus the way we instruct more closely on the developmental level of the campers, presenting greater challenges as they grow. This allows us to appropriately challenge campers at all levels of social, emotional, and physical development. Please be aware that the Adventure programs are physically challenging. All participants must be able and willing to participate in strenuous physical activities throughout the course of the camp.
Adventure Camp
In this series of camps, pre-teens and teens will challenge themselves, become better teammates, learn their limits, and push past them. Campers will climb to new heights on our high and low ropes course while developing skills as a teammate and leader. They’ll learn all sorts of new games, meet new friends, and have a whole lot of fun at the same time. They’ll even get to spend a day or two at the beach kayaking and paddle boarding. What could be better?
Lifelong Adventure
Paddling quietly down a river, entirely in charge of where they’ll end up. Pushing themselves to climb just a little bit higher than they thought they could. Splashing around while they’re paddle boarding with their friends. During this week, campers will be able to try all of these things and more as they join our adventure staff for a fun-filled week of rock climbing, kayaking and paddle boarding, swimming, hiking, and a whole lot of fun. Along the way, they’ll learn some skills (or brush up on some old ones!) that they’ll be able to use for a lifetime of adventure.
