Explorers (Grades 7-10)
EXPLORERS offers even greater adventures for campers who have completed 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th grade. This program is for those who are looking to spend longer stretches of time away in nature. Explorers is the advanced group of the Adventures program. Each session features two four-night camping trips, making it perfect for campers who love to spend time under the stars. Groups depart Monday of each week for their camping trip and return Friday afternoon in time for dismissal.
Note: Camping is a required component of the Explorers session, as such, there is not an on-campus alternative. Hiking, biking, and kayaking/canoeing will also take place during each session. Campers must be able to bike up to 10 miles. Please ensure that your camper is comfortable with these activities before signing up!
