Laketrails program is designed with the teenage camper in mind. While there is plenty of adventure as well as physical challenge, there is also a more relaxed atmosphere than you will find at many camps. We feel it is important for young people to have time to build relationships with other youth and to grow in understanding of their own giftedness. Because of this, we don't adhere to rigid schedules, but try to live life to the fullest as our Creator presents it to us each day.

The heart of our program is a five to six day wilderness canoe trip geared to the experience level of the individual group. Campers have the opportunity to choose what type of trip they wish to take, and they become instrumental in planning and carrying out the trip. In the process they grow in understanding and appreciation of their own abilities, and learn how to work well with others to accomplish a common goal.

While the Laketrails program is physically rigorous, no prior experience or training is needed. All that is necessary is that the participant be in general good health. If you have any questions about specific health related issues, feel free to call us.
