Paddle Adventure Camp (Grade 8th-10th)
Link to more information.
This all-levels camp is designed to introduce campers to the joys of kayaking throughout the beautiful Hudson Valley. Our goal is for participants to build paddling skills, confidence, and make friends in a safe, exciting, and fun atmosphere.
Throughout the week, campers are given opportunities to improve:
-
Leadership skills—by guiding portions of our water and land routes while staff supervises from the background.
-
Team building—by working as a group to lift and carry kayaks, offering each other positive feedback,and encouraging one another to hike that last mile.
-
Self-confidence—by seeing their hard work pay off when they reach the top of that day’s mountain or when they pull out their kayak at the end of a five-mile paddle.
No refunds or credits will be given towards other programs, camps, or events if you cancel your enrollment. In the event you need to cancel, a tax receipt will be issued to you indicating that the program fee was converted to a charitable donation. Membership is non-refundable.
