This “awesome” program for our older campers will include an overnight camping experience each session (the second Wednesday, weather permitting) along with popular “extreme” activities such as rock climbing, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, and tubing. Occasionally, other15 EA activities are substituted or added to a session. On the river, the focus will be on using and improving canoeing skills.
Each session will begin with “team building” and climbing skills on our ropes course. Extreme Adventures counselors are experienced with helping these campers feel comfortable with new adventure activities. “Challenge by choice” is an important feature of the camp’s adventure program. Counselors offer campers both encouragement and confidence as they tackle new challenges. The “EA” staff will help their group of 13 campers learn basic survival skills by explorations into wooded areas and on the overnight trip. As always one of the favorite parts of this program, with both campers and counselors, is the lively conversation as they travel on the bus, go bowling or sit around a campfire at night. These “EA” campers will usually have one extended day each session till 4:00 PM to accommodate traveling time for certain activities.
