Teen Program

Teen Adventure Camp - 4 or 5 Day - Ages 13-16

Our teen camps provide active teens the opportunity to spend time on the water with other teens, offering them structured activities to help them extend learning through the summer, keeping them active and engaged. These camps focus on the development of kayaking skills, camping skills, environmental awareness and leadership. Teens will spend the first 3 days on the water learning the skills before they spend one night camping with our experienced guides out on Indian Arm.

The Teen Adventure Camp qualifies for the Bronze Journey Award of the Duke of Edinburgh program.
