Mid-High Outpost
LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR CAMPER'S EXPERIENCE
Outpost
Mid High campers (rising 7th-9th graders) learn intermediate outdoor skills at Glisson’s Frontier Site, 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, Mountain Biking, or Kayaking. All trips are beginner-friendly, and teach all necessary skills in a progression.
Frontier 10-Day Adventure
This extended 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.
