Frontier campers (rising 7th-9th graders) learn intermediate outdoor skills at the Frontier Site, with dining shelters, a private pond, and open-air hammock cabins for sleeping. A 1-night or 2-night adventure trip introduces skills for a specific outdoor activity: Backpacking, Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, or Kayaking.
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 at Outpost with team-building and practicing basic outdoor skills. (Sample Schedule)

“My daughter had a lot of fun and really enjoyed meeting new people. She also learned more about herself as she tried new things.”

Rock Climbing (+ Kayak)
Climbers will spend two days camping and climbing. Before leaving camp, campers can practice their climbing skills on Outpost’s bouldering wall or climbing tree. Campers will then learn climbing basics, including knot tying, climbing techniques, gear essentials, and belay technique. Campers will also enjoy one day of beginner kayaking on one of our local rivers. (Sample Schedule)
Kayaking
Kayakers 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! (Sample Schedule)
