This camp will not be held in 2021.
For ages 11–12
Day camp on Monday (9:00 am–3:00 pm), followed by a four-day, three-night backpacking trip!
Location: Trip begins and ends at 122 Daley Rd., East Chatham; itinerary changes each summer.
A small group of campers led by experienced instructors begin with one day of day camp, building our community and developing the knowledge and skills necessary for the journey ahead. On Tuesday morning, we trek into the mountains, where we climb summits, eat and laugh around campfires, and enjoy the freedom that backpacking provides.
“This experience has taught me that the end of the hike isn’t always the destination. It’s the hike itself that matters. When we first set out on this journey, I was so worried that I wouldn’t make it to the end, but after every minute I felt myself get stronger and more determined to succeed. I am so glad that I got to share this experience with these people. They were all incredibly supportive of each other. I will forever love and cherish every moment of this trip.”
