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.
Overview of our High Adventure Treks
Cost for high adventure is higher than the fee for base camp because those that
participate receive:
- use of specialized equipment including tents, water filters, backpack stoves, cooking
equipment, and maps
- trained and experienced rangers to guide. There will be a ratio of one ranger for every
eight participants
- food quality and quantity will be greater
- National Forest Fees will be paid for you
- a limited edition patch for each participant
The requirements include:
- Age 14 years or older
- Good physical condition (Most of the activities are very strenuous)
- Two adult leaders per Backpacking Crew (The camp will provide one staff ranger)
Deadline for registration:
- June 1, 2006 - The Camp needs the registration in order to meet Backpacking food needs.
