Event Details

Intermediate camps are designed for campers looking for more challenge and adventure. Intermediate campers can enjoy a different camp theme each week with hikes, crafts, and activities designed to make learning fun!

Each camp is action-packed full of different activities each and every day. All of these camps focus on environmental appreciation and teach campers about the outdoors in a fun, yet educational way.

Intermdiate Camps offer kids something a little more challenging and are designed to provide an even more exciting camp experience for our more senior campers. Intermdiate camps include much longer wilderness treks and some include caving or canoeing for a day in Rockwood.

All camps run from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm (FREE Extended drop-off/pick-up times available from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm)
