Two Week Adventure Camps for teens 14-17
Kids stay at our Adventure Lodge
You can sign your child up for 2 to 4 weeks; the camps are designed so that they could do 4 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).
The camps are small and have a Maximum of 24 kids each 2 week session. There are four or five counselors with the kids on all trips depending on the trip.

Then on Saturday the camp will go rock climbing yet again to another area where the cliffs are bigger and more challenging. When the Sunday rolls around, the kids should be tired and ready to sleep in a little bit before getting up and going into town to do laundry. After the kids do laundry they will go for a short walk out to a waterfall or go to the lake to swim. On Monday we will take the kids repelling over a large 130 foot wall and then caving down into the depths of Vermont. On Tuesday everyone will go mountain biking.
