  • Skills Week

    Age: 16+

    Offered as a 6-day instructor training week, our objective is to prepare participants to be head instructors in either rock climbing, archery, or canoeing. These three activities are the main ones we offer to campers in the summer. Training in all three skills runs simultaneously.

  • Acclimatization Camp

    Age: all

    Acclimatization Camp is our chance to prepare for the summer. It's our way to ease into the tasks so that the shock of camp life doesn't hit you all at once. It is a time that looks a little like recreation, or rest, but is actually an essential space for equipping the body, mind, and heart for the challenges that are coming.
