Adventure camp provides children with an opportunity to connect with real-world experiences and form meaningful friendships that last a lifetime.
Campers embark upon outdoor adventures each day in western North Carolina. Experienced physical education teachers lead and oversee this program with added expertise available at each trip location.
Outdoor Activities
Adventure camps give teens an opportunity to develop self-esteem and maturity by pushing physical and emotional limits. From climbing walls and rivers to hiking wooded trails and new challenges like rock climbing or river rafting, campers experience new challenges while learning teamwork skills.
At adventure programs held over one week sessions, sessions are led by experienced teachers and coaches backed up with additional expertise provided by staff at trip locations. A staff-to-camper ratio of 1:6 ensures children remain safe and receive individual attention from instructors.
Adventure campers get acquainted with one another during field group time and activity selection. Try team-building games such as Mad Libs or nature charting to take observation to another level. Furthermore, kids may even design their own cardboard box car races, using racetracks designed by them and kid-powered vehicles as race tracks; this activity promotes creative problem-solving skills as well as creative imagination!
High Ropes Courses
High Ropes is an exhilarating adventure, challenging participants’ comfort zones while providing a thrilling adrenaline rush – be it off a Tarzan Swing or down an exhilarating Zip Line ride. Team collaboration is encouraged while effective communication skills are developed.
These elements are designed to promote group development, and provide children with an exciting camp experience. They aid coordination and problem-solving as well as building self-confidence. In addition to having fun, kids also leave feeling energized after successfully completing one or more courses: when telling their bunk mates “I did it!” or hearing cheers as they climb a rock wall they can feel proud to say that “I did it!” Ultimately this feeling fuels summer camps’ lasting enthusiasm in kids!
Team Building
No matter if it’s for school groups, dance squads, religious youth camps or sports teams: An adventure challenge course provides valuable bonding experiences for any group. Through an adventure challenge course you will learn to communicate better, work as a unit, support one another while developing self-confidence.
At adventure camp, team building activities that focus on developing leadership skills can also be found. For instance, The High Africa experience features various challenges designed to help your team discover more about themselves and build trust within one another. Each element requires cooperation and communication from everyone involved as they work through it – coming up with creative solutions along the way will be crucial if overcoming any potential hurdles is to succeed.

One aspect of building community is learning how to work together effectively through activities like exploring and problem-solving in the backcountry with your team, or challenging themselves on an overnight backpacking or canoeing expedition. A great way to do this is giving campers headlamps and sending them on night hikes so that they can experience nature at different times of the day, building confidence while honing leadership abilities.
