Summer Adventure Camp for Kids and Teens

Outdoor Discovery Summer Camp (ages 10-12):
With Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing's Outdoor Discovery Summer Camps, campers learn how to camp, canoe, cave, and rock climb plus more traditional summer camp activities including archery, soccer, kickball, and capture-the-flag. This is a perfect introduction to the outdoors, Starting with ages 10 and extending to 12, Outdoor Discovery Summer Camps offers your young adventurer the opportunity to explore the outdoors while participating in age-appropriate adventure activities. With its own "Base Camp" our Outdoor Discovery Summer Camp is planned and designed to include all the adventure of our standard camp with the specific needs and desires of the 10-12 age group. In our move to develop a more age-appropriate wilderness experience, campers will not be 100% submerged into the outdoors. Instead they will have the unique opportunity to combine a "wilderness camp" without leaving all of the comforts of home behind. Our full service kitchen will prepare some of their meals, while others are prepared by the group under the supervision of their leaders. In addition, sports fields and a covered pavilion allow for rainy day activities. And our showerhouse allows campers to get as dirty as they please. Outdoor Discovery Summer Camps are designed to prepare a participant for future adventures in the outdoors.

Classic Adventure Summer Adventure Camp (ages 11-13, 13-15 & 15-17):
This is where it all began . . . the summer adventure camps that have given Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing its name. Our two-week summer adventure camp introduce participants to a variety of outdoor adventure activities, and allow participants to build up to more advanced levels. At the beginning of each adventure camp participants are issued backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, cook sets, food, and other supplies needed for an exciting outdoor adventure experience. Regardless of age, groups will backpack, canoe, or bike to a different campsite each day, and will spend their nights around a campfire, camping beneath the stars. No previous experience is required for this summer adventure camp as our leaders and instructors begin activities at an introductory level and slowly advance by teaching and promoting safety, responsibility, stewardship, respect, and teamwork. Please note that the 11-13 age group will not mountain bike.

Specialized Adventure Camp Trips (ages 14-17):
As our summer adventure camp has grown over time and participants have returned year after year seeking new experiences and friendships, Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing found the need to offer summer camps that provide more time and instruction in select adventure activities. The difference between our Specialized Adventure Trips and our Classic Adventures lies in the number of outdoor adventure activities on which the summer camp focuses. Participants sharpen skills in the activities they enjoy most through specialized instruction and ample practice. Whether your interest is kayaking, canoeing, mountain biking, or outdoor leadership, we have designed specialized summer camps that will take you to new levels of outdoor adventure. As in all of our camps, each trip begins at an introductory level and builds toward advanced instruction and increased participant responsibility. Please note that trips offered vary from year to year.

Weight Loss Camp (ages 10+):
Children today spend an average of 6 hours each day in front of the computer and TV but less than 4 minutes a day in unstructured outdoor play. Our two week program will take your child outdoors – away from temptations and provide them with opportunities to develop a love for outdoor activities they can continue throughout their lives.

Family Camp (ages 8+):
We can't begin to tell you how many times we hear parents say "I wish we could do this" or "Why don't you have a camp for grownups"...well...we listened and here it is.
