Summer Camp - Wilderness Discovery Week - 2026

Youth Program

Summer Camp - Wilderness Discovery Week

A fun-filled camp week featuring lots of climbing, outdoor curriculum, and a guest presentation!

Mountaineers explore! This week is all about learning about the world around us and filling our time together with as much fun as possible. 

Campers ages 6-12 are invited to join us for a week of traditional camp games, songs and a heavy dose of outdoor adventure. Each week consists of rock climbing, outdoor skills, crafts, and swimming.
