New five day version of our classic Appalachian Adventure!

For our youngest overnight adventurers, we have designed a kids' adventure camp that keeps this active age group busy and engaged throughout their program. This five day summer overnight camp travels through Virginia and West Virginia visiting the most exciting and beautiful areas. Learn to rely on your teammates to make you laugh, give you support and help you set up your tents at night. Dive into the world of outside cooking, adventure activities and traveling with everything you need to live in one bag. Highlights of this trip include staying in our favorite campground, Jess Judy enjoying the stream side sounds at night and exploring the depths of Trout Cave in Franklin, WV.

Shenandoah River Rafting - Monday

After breakfast, the group will travel to the nearby Shenandoah River and raft the Compton's Rapid section. At the end of the day, the group will be ready for another warm meal to fill their stomachs and then settle down around the campfire to reflect on the events thus far.
