The Adventure Program was created to provide opportunities for area participants to learn outdoor skills and challenge themselves in an Adventure environment.  Our program utilizes outdoor experiences, such as the challenge course, rock climbing, backpacking, caving, canoeing, and kayaking to help teens gain self confidence, responsibility, self-awareness, problem solving, and decision making skills.  Each session offers campers opportunities to learn life-long recreation skills and promote the positive use of free time.
