Week-long and 10-day adventure trips allow Expedition campers (rising 10th-12th grades) to hone their skills in specific activities: Backpacking, Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, Whitewater Kayaking, or Canoeing. After 1-2 nights at the Expedition Site, living groups set up tarp shelter camp sites on the trail, along the river, or at the rock face.

Pack & Paddle

Hone your backpacking and whitewater kayaking skills on some of our favorite North Georgia trails and rivers.

From there, the group swap backpacks for boats as they spend two full days paddling the Toccoa River before setting up camp near Lake Blue Ridge. (Sample Schedule)
