Teen Base Camp Course
During the Base Camp Course students will spend time around base camp and take day hikes into the local area for resources. Students will gather around the main camp for instruction or meet for instructional hikes. This course takes place in a base camp setting and allows students to learn a wide range of skills in a camp-like setting without the need to camp every night and travel long distances. Students can camp in their shelters they set up or bring a tent. Each day will be around 6 hours of instruction, & we will have 1 hour for lunch each day. Students are responsible for their own meals and food, however we will provide breakfast each morning at the group fire & a camp dessert each night. Teens 16 and older can be dropped off and picked up, however we recommend a guardian for all students to be present.
For camping, we do not allow boys and girls to camp together.
