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.

The Raider Bridge stands out as one of the thrilling highlights of our Mountain Adventure Course, blending both low and high rope challenges. As campers traverse this dynamic course, they will engage in teamwork and problem-solving, confronting fears head-on while experiencing the exhilarating rush of adventure. Along the way, they’ll build resilience and self-confidence, creating lasting memories as they navigate the course side by side with their fellow campers.

Wilderness Adventure has introduced an exciting new course element: the Giant Swing! This thrilling experience lifts campers high into the sky before they plunge more than 30 feet, soaring through the forest. Our experienced instructors prioritize safety as you take the leap. The Giant Swing is not only about overcoming your fears; it's also an opportunity to build confidence and trust in yourself and in your fellow campers.
