LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR middle school CAMPER'S Outpost EXPERIENCE
Outpost: Rising 7th-9th
Outpost Mid High campers (rising 7th-9th graders) learn intermediate outdoor skills at Glisson’s Frontier Site (map), with dining shelters, a private pond, and open-air hammock cabins for sleeping. A 3-day, 2-night adventure trip introduces skills for a specific outdoor activity: Backpacking, Rock Climbing, or Kayaking. All trips are beginner-friendly, and teach all necessary skills in a progression.
Frontier 10-Day Adventure
This extended 10-day adventure allows campers a chance to experience a sampling of three core Outpost activities – backpacking (3 days), rock climbing (1 day), and kayaking (2 days). Campers start their journey onsite at our Frontier Site with team-building and practicing basic outdoor skills.
Kayaking
Kayaking groups will start the week honing basic outdoor living skills and paddling skills at our Outpost campus. From there, campers will spend two days paddling on local rivers, camping along the way. No prior kayaking experience is required, so this trip is perfect for beginner to intermediate paddlers!
Backpacking
Backpacking groups will start the week honing basic outdoor living skills and backpacking skills at our Outpost campus. From there, they'll embark on a 3-day, 2-night Backpacking experience covering mild to moderate terrain, short distances, a pristine waterfall, and breathtaking views, making this trip perfect for beginner and advanced hikers alike.
Rock Climbing
Climbers will spend 3 days and 2 nights camping and climbing. Before leaving camp, campers can practice their climbing skills on Outpost’s bouldering wall or belayed climbing tree. Campers will then learn climbing basics, including knot tying, climbing techniques, gear essentials, and belay technique.
