Adventure Camp Series

The importance of personal and natural interactions at a young age cannot be overstated. Our Adventure Camp encourages both curiosity and exploration, helping campers learn more about themselves by making connections between the world they know and discovering those parts they do not yet know.

Adventure Camp fosters connections to the environment while helping children develop a sense of place in the natural world as they discover who they are and how to test their abilities. Campers interact with nature in hands-on ways through traditional camp activities like hiking, fishing, canoeing, and exploration. Campers also engage their imaginations through play and by harnessing their curiosity.

Adventure Camps follow the NYS Department of Health Children’s Camps regulations.
