Level one trips are for ages 10-11. Ages 9 and 12 may enroll if attending with a sibling, cousin, or a friend in this age range. These are low risk, low intensity activities that last on average 4 to 5 hours during the day. Supplemental activities such as swimming and playing games are added to manage time. Campers stay in one location throughout the week. Nights are spent in a structure with some sort of permanent roof, no tent camping.
Level 2 is for ages 12-14. Age 12 is strict due to whitewater rafting and age 15 may attend with Director approval. Activities are at moderate risk and last about 6-8 hours. Supplemental activities such as swimming and playing games are added to manage time. Campers stay in one location throughout the week. The last day may be in a different area. Campers are introduced to tent camping in one-person tents. Three person tents available if requested.
Level 3 trips are for ages 13-16. Age 12 is allowed if the camper has done a level 2 trip before, and a camper age 17 is allowed with Director approval.
