Elementary Outpost
LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR CAMPER'S EXPERIENCE
Outpost
Outpost offers kids a safe, fun, and beginner-friendly outdoor adventure experience. Spending a week exploring God’s creation in a small group facilitates teamwork and learning outdoor skills in ways that help campers grow in faith, collaboration, and self-confidence. Outpost Elementary campers (rising 2nd-6th graders) learn basic outdoor living skills at the Pioneer Site (map). Campers sleep in open-air Adirondack shelters, help cook tasty meals in the kitchen pavilion, and worship around the campfire and in the Outpost Chapel. Campers also spend one night camping in tarp shelters on Falls Mountain for a Home-In-The-Woods experience. Practicing Christian community in an outdoor adventure setting helps campers understand their role in their group while at camp, and how faith can relate to even the most basic aspects of everyday life back home.
( RISING 3RD - 4TH )
Lower Elementary
A sampling of three different adventure activities: backpacking on Falls Mountain, climbing on the Alpine Tower, and kayaking on Lake Hale (includes waterfront zip line and slides). Campers will spend one day apiece focusing on each of these three activities at all on-site locations.
