Pathfinder sessions are designed to provide more opportunities for the older school age camper to explore new and exciting interests while still practicing old favorites. Up to 8 campers are assigned to each counselor, and this “home group” lives together in a dorm style cabin with another home group. Each home group eats meals together and plans and participates in camp activities as a small group. Pathfinder maintains the low camper to staff ratio, ensuring that each camper feels comfortable and known in their group while also helping each child set and reach personal goals throughout the week. There will also be opportunities for campers to make individual activity choices, leaving the home group to explore and meet new camp friends under the careful guidance of camp staff. Home groups will plan a tent camping overnight in or around camp, providing a great opportunity for campers to learn minimum impact camping skills, how to work together as a team, and to plan and prepare their meals. Session activities include: Horse
trail ride and lesson available to campers attending
this session for an additional fee. |

4-Day/3 Night, Ages 6-12 |

The
Explorer program is designed especially to introduce our youngest
campers to safe
and fun outdoor resident camp activities. With a low camper to
staff ratio, camp counselors give each child the individual attention
needed to make friends, have fun and to develop new skills. Up
to 8 campers are assigned to each counselor, and this “home
group” lives together in a dorm style cabin with another
home group. Each home group eats meals together and plans and
participates in camp activities as a small group. There will
also be opportunities for campers to make individual activity
choices, leaving the home group to explore and meet new camp
friends under the careful guidance of camp staff.
Session activities include: |
| Challenger
10 Day/9 Night, Ages 10-16 |
|
|
The
Challenger 10 day session is packed full of exciting opportunities
for middle and high school youth. The
low camper to staff ratio allows counselors to work closely with
campers in planning the session’s activities, setting personal
goals and making sure that all feel a strong sense of community.

Challenger campers also plan a one or two night out of camp trip with their home group. Groups can choose a hiking or canoeing expedition that will be accompanied by appropriately certified program staff. Campers must work well as a team while planning their route, preparing their gear, learning minimum impact camping skills, animal awareness and safety, first aid and general camp craft. All of these experiences are under the guidance of their home group counselor and the trip staff. Providing a safe experience that is challenging and fun is always a priority. Session activities include: Swimming and sauna, kayaking and canoeing, day hikes, target sports like archery and riflery, outdoor living skills, cooperative games focusing on leadership development, camping expedition trip, arts and crafts, nature awareness, evening programs, and all camp activities! All Challenger campers have the opportunity for a 1 ½ hour float trip on the world famous Kenai River! Horse trail ride and lesson available to campers attending this session for an additional fee. |
