Adventure in the DARK

Adventure Camps offer middle school and early high school campers a slightly more rustic experience. They stay in our Sukkah Village. While the pavilion and bath house have electricity, each Sukkah is power free. A Sukkah is similar to a screened porch with 8 cots in each one.

Every Adventure camp camps out one night off camp. Like the Pioneer Camps, every Adventure Camp has unique offerings.

skits, songs and acting fun

Adventure Skits & Songs is a new version of Performing Arts camp. In an effort to spread out the ages, we are offering a Pioneer and an Adventure age Skits & Songs camp. These campers will spend time this week acting and learning vocal skills. They will have an opportunity to perform at an evening campfire and at closing. We are also working on including a special addition to this camp, we hope to announce it soon.

Caving
Caveing is dirty fun!

Adventure in the DARK was a BIG HIT last summer. Campers shifted their schedule through the week, staying up later (and getting up later, too) while they enjoy typical camp activities… in the dark!  Take a hike, without your flashlight; paddle a canoe by the light of the moon; take a late night swim (PFD’s required); Capture the Mattress?!

Adventure Peddle & Paddle Mountain biking Join the fun as we mountain bike into the George Washington National Forest and paddle down the famous Shenandoah river.   It’s an opportunity to hang out, play and spend a week of fun.


Adventure on Horse horse on trailridetakes two western trail rides on horses from a nearby stable. The rides follow trails through the woods and into the George Washington National Forest. The overnight trip will also be in the GW National Forest.


Adventure Cave & Canoe caving
takes you high above and way below the Shenandoah Valley.  Join us as we explore a wild cave led by a professional guide and discover what lies just beneath our feet.  We will also take an overnight canoe trip on the historic Shenandoah River. Bring shoes that can get wet and clothes that can get muddy, this camp is full of good ol' messy fun.


Adventure Stars, Rocks & Dirt
is one of our most popular Adventure Camps.  Spend the week with our experts Archeologist Robert Fryewho will show you the stars above, the caves below and give you an opportunity to dig into history at an ongoing archeological site.  Caroline Furnace soil is rich with Civil War era history from when over 300 people lived and worked to smelt the iron from the rocks.  The dig site has unearthed signs of their lives from pieces of pottery, buttons, tools and much more.  Dig in and see what you can find.
