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

Living in platform tents at Outpost, merge the best of Main Camp with new and exciting wilderness experiences.
"Our son had a great time his first year in Explorers!
He loved the extra activities and came home really enthusiastic about the whole experience."

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.
Ranchers Option for Explorers and Voyagers
Explorers and Voyagers participants may choose to be Ranchers, joining a group of 4 others who have a passion for horseback riding.
While Explorers and Voyagers participants complete Camptivity rotations, this small group receives specialized riding instruction from a highly trained wrangler.
Ranchers also go on a morning trip to the JJ Ranch to participate in a real cattle drive!
Extra Fee: $450 ($375 for members of any YMCA)
