Small boots, big wilderness
Campers set out in groups of twelve with two trail counselors, learning to read maps, spot wildlife, and travel safely. Routes grow with age — from the Fairy Glen loop for younger kids to the sunrise ridge hike for older ones.
Every week ends with a trail ceremony where campers earn their pathfinder bandana and share one thing the forest taught them.

From the trail
"Our daughter was nervous about hiking. By Friday she led her group to the ridge and wouldn't stop talking about owl calls at dinner."
