Ten years ago, in 1999, we founded Princeton Day School Adventure Camps, combining our love for teaching young people with our passion for the outdoors and adventure. It all began with our High Peaks Adirondack Backpacking Adventure and today we are excited to be able to offer a wide range of adventures that include high-ropes, canoeing, backpacking, indoor/outdoor rock climbing and parent-child adventures.
    At PDS Adventure Camps we take great pride in our ability to offer safe and exciting adventures that broaden young peoples' experiences as they learn important outdoor skills and develop a respect for the environment with Leave No Trace Outdoor Ethics (LNT). Safety is our first priority and for that reason, our staff is made up of mature, highly trained leaders.
    PDS Adventure Camps provide travel to our Adventures in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Maine, West Virginia and New Hampshire, with all of our trips beginning at Princeton Day School. Take a look at our Adventure offerings and call today so that we may help you choose the Adventure experience that is right for you and/or your child.
