Outdoor Discovery trips are one and two week programs that
provide an excellent opportunity to expose your young adventurer to the beauty
of the outdoors. It's a fun-filled, structured camping experience that combines
short hikes with adventure activities. At the beginning of each program
participants are issued small daypacks, sleeping bags, tents, and all of the
supplies needed for an exciting outdoor experience. Each program is intended to
offer introductory experiences to a variety of age-appropriate outdoor
activities. Each day will take them to new heights as they explore the
outdoors. One-week programs will have a permanent campsite that will be their
base of operations. Two-week Tracks programs will spend half their trip
camping at a permanent campsite while improving their skills; the second half
will be spent moving from campsite to campsite throughout the National Forest.
Whether it's a one or two-week outdoor experience, each group will spend their
nights sitting around a campfire and camping in tents. No previous experience
is required as our leaders and instructors begin at an introductory level and
slowly advance by teaching and promoting responsibility, stewardship, respect,
and teamwork.
