Our
Base Camp program has provided a solid adventure and outdoor foundation
for many! For 2000, we are limiting the ages
to 11 and 12 year olds in an effort to provide an even better experience
for our younger team members. 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, snow skills, outdoor
cooking, orienteering, environmental study, whitewater rafting, and general
outdoor skills. Special events iclude 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 five 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.
