14 to 17y/o Expedition Camps
You can sign your child up for 2 to 8 weeks; the camps are designed so that they could do 8 weeks of camp and not be doing the same things. We offer weekend activities for kids that are staying for more than two weeks for just $100 extra. The kids will hike, swim, and even go to the movies over the weekend. We ask that you send your child with some spending money for the movies and snacks ($30 a week is recommended).
