ADVENTURE TREK - 13 DAY PROGRAM
Ages 13 - 14

What is the Adventure Trek Program?

Wilderness adventures, high ropes courses, and fun at camp.  This program has it all!  The Adventure Trek Program is an opportunity for campers to enjoy our residential program with three activities per week as well as an onsite 2 night 3 day camping trip.  This program allows campers to focus on such skills as friction fires, shelter building, cordage, wild edibles, bow making and more!  Campers will have the chance to build their own supplies and then spend two nights on Sargent's 700 acres putting their skills to the test! 

 

 

Where will I live?

Adventure Trek campers will live in our Yurt Villages and enjoy this unique community setting, campfire pit, and covered pavilions.  

 

What will I do at camp?

Adventure Trek campers will spend part of the morning with their field group practicing skills, teambuilding, and getting ready for their weekend campout.  The rest of the days leading up to the campout they will take three activities a day, participate in free time and evening activities.  After the weekend campout they will rejoin camp and participate in a second week of new activities and time with their field group.  The session ends with a final challenge on the High Ropes Course! 

 

When do I sign up for activities?

Campers will choose their activity preferences at camp.  Our staff will advertise the various offerings in a fun way and campers will then get to choose what they want.
