YOUR SOURCE FOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURE & EXPLORATION

Our camps offer opportunities for participants to explore many facets of the outdoors through adventure based activities and programs.  Set in a supportive and nurturing environment, activities are designed to educate campers about various outdoor skills and/or ecology, as well as challenge them in an effort to foster confidence and personal growth.  With trust and respect as corner stones of these sessions, we create a positive learning environment, enabling campers to gain a comfort and understanding of themselves, others, and the great outdoors.

Adventure Camps & Expeditions

These camps revolve around daily expeditions.  The Adventure Skills Camps (ages 8-12), focus on high adventure activities such paddlesports, hiking, orienteering, geocaching, and rock climbing. 

The Seeds of Adventure Camps (ages 5-7), educate and engage the campers in the adventure of our natural world both in rural and urban environments.
