Outdoor Exploration Summer Camps

Exploration Summer Camps for Kids & Teens

Outdoor exploration summer camps combine many types of wilderness and outdoor activities including kayaking, canoeing, rafting, hiking, biking, and backpacking. Through a blend of outdoor and experiential education, kids and teens experience incredible personal growth, conduct meaningful conservation projects, and gain a greater appreciation of the natural world. In addition, campers learn basic skills like orienteering, building camp fires, creating shelter, and cooking meals from scratch - all under the close supervision of outdoor exploration summer camp professionals.
