Outdoor Adventure Activities for Teens

Whether you’re testing your bouldering skills, challenging yourself on the top rope climbing wall, or tackling the adrenaline-pumping ropes course high up in the trees, each experience is packed with thrills. Enjoy the satisfaction of scaling a tough route to reach the top of the wall, conquering tough bouldering problems on our KilterBoard, or navigating suspended bridges and zip lines to jump off our staggering leap of faith on the ropes course with your friends cheering you on. Beginners and more experienced campers alike can participate in many fun games on the wall like the elimination game, minesweeper, time trials, beginner bouldering comps and more. Climbing at camp isn’t just about reaching new heights; it’s about building confidence, trust, and finding adventure with every hold and step!

From revving up an ATV to conquer rugged trails, trotting along hidden forest paths, cruising on a Jeep with friends, or tearing it up on a mountain bike, every moment on the trails is packed with adrenaline and awe. As you splash through mud puddles and ride through beautiful sun-dappled groves, all our off-roading activities present the perfect opportunity to enjoy the full beauty of the gorgeous Adirondacks. Off-roading, biking, horseback riding, and Jeep rides aren’t just activities, they’re full-throttle experiences that make every day at camp unforgettable. So, saddle up, jump in, or grab your handlebars – the adventure of a lifetime is waiting for you in the Adirondacks!
Conquer the Ropes
Soar high in our adrenaline-filled high ropes course and zipline! Push yourself to the limit; traverse swinging logs, suspended bridges, and unsteady platforms, up in the tree tops. Take advantage of the speed and fly the zip line while enjoying the spectacular scenery of the Adirondacks. It is not simply climbing but a test of balance, courage and concentration. Each jump on the rope, each time you make a jump off a platform gives you confidence and the feeling of achievement is unforgettable.
