Kids' Adventure Camp in the Catskills - for boys & girls 12-16 years old*
Canyoneering Rock Climbing Hiking Caving Rappelling Camping Tubing Scrambling Swimming Traversing Orienteering....
July 13-17 (see below for August 12-14 3-day camp)

Come join us for five fun packed days of adventure and four nights of camping in the beautiful Catskill and Shawangunk Mountains
Day 1 - Wasting no time getting started, we'll make a stop en route to the Catskills in Cold Spring, NY and scramble up Breakneck Ridge that gains 800' in the first half mile and offers spectacular sweeping views of the Hudson Valley. Lunch on trails. Continue drive up to North South Lake, Haines Falls, NY. Set up camp. Explore, swim, play ball. Dinner at camp. Games. Sleep.
Day 2 - Breakfast at camp. Drive to the beautiful Mohonk Preserve near New Paltz for a day of rock climbing, rappelling, spelunking & exploring in the Gunks. Lunch at the cliffs. Dinner in funky Woodstock. Return to camp. Games. Sleep.
Day 3 - Breakfast at camp. Hike, orienteer, swim & explore local trails with waterfalls. Dinner at camp. Games. Sleep.
Day 4 - Breakfast at camp. Kaaterskill Falls is the highest waterfall in New York. Just the site of it is enough to satiate most adventurers, but not us. First we'll hike to the top and then, with the support of our certified climbing guides, rappel back down next to the 180' crown jewel of the Catskills. Want more? How about a Tyrolean traverse where you'll pull yourself across a line from one end of the cirque to the other while on a safety belay. Lunch at falls. Dinner at camp. Games. Sleep.
Day 5 - Breakfast at camp. Hike our favorite trail in the region, Devil's Path. Although this mountainous trail is very challenging, the fun crevasses, rock scrambling sections and views from the top will more than compensate for your hard effort. Dirty and sweaty after our hike, we'll get cleaned up and refreshed while tubing the rapids of the picturesque Esopus River. A snack in Phoenicia and we're on our way back home.
Cost: $945 includes all the above, all technical equipment, camping gear (kids provide sleeping bag and pad), food and round trip transportation from the Huntington, NY area.
Register by May 15 for the July camp or by June 12 for the August camp and save $50. Additional siblings that attend save $50. (only one discount applies).
