This exciting high adventure trek utilizes Door County, our very own "Cape Cod of the Midwest". After some training and a practice run on a lake near Gardner Dam, your crew will be transported to Jax Camp, a Bay-Lakes Council property near Sturgeon Bay, where you will base camp for a week of sea kayaking on the waters of Green Bay, as well as bike touring on the trails and byways of Door County. You'll also get some free time to play tourist.You can't ask for any better whitewater kayaking opportunities than what we have right here in northeast Wisconsin. This high adventure trek will put you in river kayaks on the Wolf, Peshtigo and Red Rivers… just to name a few. Your crew will base camp at Gardner Dam and hit a different river each day with challenges for all abilities. When you're not on the water, participants will get a taste of COPE (Challenging Outdoor Personal Experience), climbing, rappelling and mountain biking.
