Join a group of twelve
other people and two leaders for a wilderness adventure camp that will introduce
you to new outdoor activities in a scenic wilderness environment. Each day your
group will travel to different campsites within the George Washington and
Jefferson National Forest while participating in exciting adventure activities.
Each of our trips is unique and thus each offers different activities depending
on the length and route of the particular trip; It is this uniqueness that
allows the trip to focus on the experience rather than the specific activities.
By limiting the amount of times a group sets foot in a vehicle (on average 1
time per trip) the group is able to achieve self-sufficiency which is critical
in the development of leadership, self-esteem, and effective team
interaction.
Your trip begins by
learning the basic skills which provide a solid foundation upon which you build
experience. Depending on which specific activities your trip is doing you may
spend time on our climbing wall with a climbing instructor learning the
fundamentals of climbing, you may then head to a flat-water kayak clinic where
you will learn about white-water kayaks, river terminology & features, and
paddle strokes, and from there you may meet up with a mountain bike instructor
where you will learn the rules of the trail, as well as how to attach a
tow-behind trailer for all of your gear.
After you and your group
have acquired the necessary skills your true journey will begin. From our Base
Camp you will travel by hike, canoe, bike, and sea kayak each day to a new
campsite along a pre-determined route. Along your journey you will have the
opportunity to experience several outdoor adventure activities such as rock
climbing, caving, and white-water kayaking as you develop your outdoor
leadership skills. As your trip nears its end you will make your way back to
our Base Camp where you will be rewarded with a ride down one of the world's
longest and fastest Zip Lines. As you ride down the zip line you will have the
opportunity to reflect on your past 14 days and SMILE,
because not everyone can say that they did what you just did!
Please note that the Classic Adventure for ages 11-13 is recommended for those with prior experience. If this is your first time doing something like this we recommend an Outdoor Discovery trip.
