This year we are happy to offer two seperate camps! WELLkids (Ages 8-12) and RAD Camp (Ages 13-16)
WELLkids Camp aims to introduce kids ages 8 - 12 to the great outdoors and outdoor sports. Campers will have fun engaging in activities such as Archery, High Ropes Adventure, Caving, Canoeing, Swimming, River Snorkeling and Rafting!
RAD Camp, is geared towards teens with an emphasis on adventure and building skills in outdoor sports.

Both camps will be run simultaniously and dates apply for both camps. The below information regarding pick up and drop off times/locations also applies to both RAD Camp and WELLkids Camp.
