Overnights
When the sun goes down our camp fires keep burning! So raise the bar on adventures and challenges this summer and gather round. If your kids have come to love our day camps then they may be ready for an overnight! We are excited to offer 10 overnight camping opportunities for youth age 10-14 who attend one of these weeks: Forest Sports, Outpost Camp at Ellis Hollow or Danby, Jedi Camp, Primitive or Advanced Primitive, Scout or Advanced Scout, Wilderness Week (August only) or Advanced Foraging. Space is limited and past overnights have filled quickly. This is a chance for youth to put their skills to the test under the wing of our seasoned wilderness guides.
In additon to the following single-night options that are built into several of our week-long day camps we are also offering two Adventure Treks for older teens that will be four-day, three-night trips.
Register now for a week of Summer Camp with an Overnight!
