Base Camp

Base Camp

July 23- August 6         Boys 11&12         $1700


      Our Base Camp program has provided a solid adventure and outdoor foundation for many! The focus of the 15 day program is on instruction and application in a wide range of adventure activities with the specific schedule based on the needs and desires of each particular Base Camp team. New team members will have a chance to learn from the ground up while veterans start where they left off before. By focussing the program in the Base Camp area there is plenty of time for instruction and activity with a minimum of travel time. Base Camp activities include fly fishing, backpacking, rock climbing, mountain biking, outdoor cooking, orienteering, environmental study, whitewater rafting, and general outdoor skills. Special events include a raft trip on the Arkansas River, climbing/fishing trip to Eleven Mile Canyon, group conservation project, mountain biking on the Colorado or Midland Trail, a four day trip into the Tarryall Mountains and the solo/duo campout.  The goal of the Base Camp program is to provide fun outdoor learning and a solid base in adventure skills that will lead to a lifelong interest in outdoor adventure.
