Blue Ridge Odyssey Overnight

How about giving your camper the opportunity to experience an OVERNIGHT CANOE CAMPING ADVENTURE on LAKE MOOMAW AND go WHITE WATER RAFTING and CAVING?  We designed this itinerary to offer new challenges to our return campers and adventurous new campers. On this overnight we’ll spend a full day away from the comforts and convenience of the Adventure Links bus and campers will get a chance to enjoy the slower paced life of canoe travel. Campers will play a key role in making this trip a success, there will be times when everyone will need to work hard to accomplish group tasks with the understanding that their effort will pay off in the form of rainproof tents, delicious meals and ample time to explore and have fun.

ITENERARY:

Team Building - Sunday

Tent groups will be established, camp will be set up and dinner will be cooked. Following dinner there will be campfire activities and a review of the week’s events to come.
