Summer Youth
Adventure Programs
WE ARE NOW
ACCEPTING REGISTRATIONS 
Now in our 15th year, our summer
camp programs are better than ever! This year we will be offering a mixture of our
favorite trips from the past, and a variety of new adventures for those looking
for something different.
A note to parents:
Our summer programs are based on the principle of Character Development and
experiential learning (cleverly disguised as adventure activities). Success
upon success. Adventure activities can be enjoyed by everyone regardless of
fitness levels. All you need is energy, an adventurous spirit, and a small dose
of courage in order to participate and enjoy our summer programs. As a group
the children will grow and bond together, while different levels of physical
skills will expand their comfort zones on a day to day basis. They will be
challenged and excited each day while doing the different activities. They will
be tired at the end of the day, but will feel that they really accomplished
something for themselves, and perhaps helped someone along the way. Now a days,
it's just so easy to forget, that when we were kids, life was a lot simpler. We
strive to give the kids who come to our summer camp, that simpler life, where
they can just do what should come naturally, in the great outdoors.
