Adventure Camp


Push yourself to the limit with this year's spectacular Adventure camp in the Adirondack Mountains

Experience the beautiful wilderness of the Adirondack Mountains on an unforgettable adventure trip from June 21–26, 2026. Known for their vast wilderness, awe-inspiring high peaks and crystal-clear lakes, ponds, and streams, this region is perfect for adventurers who love being active, exploring nature, and disconnecting from everyday life.

From our lakeside basecamp on the scenic Rollins Pond, our journey blends canoeing and hiking into a classic Adirondack backcountry experience. We’ll paddle up quiet waterways framed by pine forests and open skies, navigating through interconnected ponds and lakes that showcase the region’s peaceful charm. On land, we’ll hike a variety of Adirondack trails, climbing to viewpoints with sweeping mountains and forest vistas.

This trip balances adventure, fellowship, and immersion in the Adirondack wilderness while building bonds with one another, learning new skills, and having fun.
