Adventure Camp - Midwest


Have an unforgettable experience canoeing down the Current River in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways.

This years, Mid-west adventure camp will entail a canoe trip down the Current River in Southern Missouri. The Current River is located within the Ozark National Scenic Riverways; along with the Jacks Fork river they flow through Mark Twain National Forest. These two rivers are some of the finest floating rivers you’ll find anywhere in the Ozarks. The Current River itself flows through Missouri for 138 miles before crossing the border into Arkansas; where it continues for another 40 miles before joining up with the Black River. The Current river is floatable year-round with its consistent flow of cool, clear spring-fed water. With its cool spring-fed waters the Current river one of the best places to cool off during hot summer months. The plan for this adventure trip is to canoe about 45-50 miles depending on river flow and camping on the sand bars, river banks or even local camp grounds. Checking out the bluffs, springs, and the natural beauty of this twisty river. Temperatures in the high 60’s at night and high 80’s during the day, and enjoying a hot meal after a day of canoeing on this scenic river. Apply soon and see you all in June!
