Program Activities

Team-building

Each camper is placed in a small group of 10–13 kids along with 2 caring counselors and a counselor in training. Working together, encouraging, listening, and serving each other are all important parts of the Adventure Camp experience. 

Waterfront Activities

Campers are at the Gull Pond waterfront several times during the week with a certified lifeguard. They learn basic canoeing and kayaking skills while working together and playing fun water games.

High Ropes Course

All campers are an essential part of the support system on the ground, encouraging one another and helping the belay staff. Campers are encouraged to "step outside their comfort zone" and challenge themselves on the high ropes course.

Rock Climbing

At the La Vida Rock Gym, campers can climb eight different rock faces, participate in bouldering games and encourage other climbers.

Mountain Biking

Campers start with beginner trails and are guided by an experienced mountain bike specialist. Everyone is given the opportunity to try intermediate trails or to continue riding on beginner trails.
