Explorers
Caring ... Honesty ... Respect ... Responsibility

Living in platform tents at Outpost, merge the best of Main Camp with new and exciting wilderness experiences.

"My son loved Explorers ... the counselors seemed phenomenal Ð they were well-liked by campers and able to participate in the fun. The evening activities were also very creative and fun. I can't speak highly enough about the camp and the experience it as provided for my children."

Explorers Description
Living in platform tents at Outpost, Explorers merges the Main Camp and wilderness experiences, combining programming elements of both. Participants follow Main Camp's morning schedule, taking part in camptivities, and spend afternoons engaging in age-appropriate group activities like our crate climb challenge or on our team building course. The group has dinner at Outpost and evening activities separate from Main Camp. Explorers get a taste of wilderness living, and a special view of Camp Echo as they canoe the lake's perimeter and hike the property line during their stay.
