Our climbing experts conduct a thorough safety briefing, teaching campers to climb safely and rappel down. Additionally, some of our camp sessions take campers to famous climbing destinations throughout Virginia and West Virginia! We also offer a rock climbing-focused camp for those interested in taking their skills to the next level!
Canoeing
Campers will have the opportunity to master essential paddling and steering techniques in a canoe as they glide along the tranquil waters of Craig Creek, which flows gracefully right next to our property. The calm environment of the creek provides the perfect setting for hands-on learning and exploration. For those in the older groups, the adventure continues with exciting excursions to the scenic New River, where they can embark on longer canoe trips and experience the thrill of navigating more expansive waters!
Kayaking
Kayaking at Wilderness Adventure provides campers with an ideal blend of skill development and adventure. Outdoor Discovery campers begin on our on-site pond, where they learn essential paddling techniques and water safety in a calm and supportive environment. As they progress, older campers can elevate their skills by embarking on thrilling kayaking trips along the scenic New River, where they navigate currents while enjoying breathtaking views.
Backpacking
Outdoor Discovery campers stay close to Base Camp, with an exciting overnight trip into the Jefferson National Forest, while older age groups embark on extended backpacking expeditions. Campers are taught how to hike effectively, manage trail campsites, and adapt to the dynamic challenges of the wilderness. Along the way, they build resilience, develop decision-making skills, and learn the importance of teamwork. Overcoming the obstacles of a backpacking expedition instills a profound sense of confidence, self-reliance, and trust in one another—lessons they carry far beyond the trail.
