Explore the Adirondacks: Youth Canoe Adventure Camp
Overnight Canoe Expeditions Are Back!
Embark on a Journey of Discovery and Adventure
Welcome to our five-day, four-night Adirondack Canoe Adventure, where young explorers aged 12 to 16 are invited to embark on a journey that transcends the traditional thrill of wilderness expedition and whitewater rafting. Nestled in the heart of the breathtaking Adirondack wilderness, this unique camp experience is meticulously designed to blend the spirit of adventure with comprehensive learning opportunities, aimed at nurturing the whole person.
Our camp is distinguished by its commitment to not only offering exhilarating outdoor experiences but also fostering personal growth and development through guided group processing experiences. Each adventure is led by our specially trained guides, who are experts not just in outdoor exploration, but in facilitating reflective group discussions that enhance the learning experience. These sessions are tailored to help participants reflect on their experiences, connect with their peers on a deeper level, and develop a broader understanding of themselves and their place within the natural world.
By focusing on the whole person, our camp ensures that every young explorer leaves with not just memories of adventure, but also with valuable life skills, increased self-awareness, and a strengthened sense of community. Join us for an unforgettable adventure in the Adirondacks, where the wilderness meets personal growth and learning in the most inspiring of settings.
