Where you discover what you're truly capable of
Build skills that matter in the wild
This overnight summer camp program builds self-reliance and outdoor competence through immersive wilderness experiences designed for junior high students. Campers develop essential skills like navigation and survival
while building confidence and independence in a supportive group setting.
What makes this camp different
Junior High Camp strips away distractions and puts you in situations where you learn by doing. You’ll spend five nights in the backcountry with instructors who know wilderness and how to teach it.
Every day centers on spiritual growth practiced through authentic experiences, not abstract theory.
Your cabin becomes your crew, and that crew becomes your people.
When people engage in outdoor activities together, reflection and community develop organically.
