HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAM

Due to our location, we can offer some very exciting trips and experiences. Programs are available for all age groups although some programs are limited to older Scouts and Scouters.

Crews of 4-12 participants are organized from the many different troops that are attending camp that week. The program is developed by each crew utilizing the resources of camp and the High Adventure staff. The participants choose their own program. Troops that have enough scouts and leaders to form their own crew are able to develop their program.

 of your choice.
