Wildwood Camp: Teen Adventure Trip - Climbing & Caves
Description
Discover boulders, caves and waterfalls hidden in Vermont and New York. This trek delves into the fascinating natural history of the area with a focus on geology and cave wildlife ecology. We'll explore natural caves and ascend mountains while learning about how these features formed and how they support the local ecology. There will be plenty of hiking and spelunking, and campers should expect to get dirty!
This itinerary includes climbing and maneuvering through some extremely narrow and small passages. No experience in spelunking is necessary, but campers should be in good physical condition and able to tolerate muddy conditions.
The intermediate-level climbing trek includes hiking up to 5 miles per day on trails that may have steep grades and mild exposure; terrain will be rocky and uneven.
Teen Adventure Trips focus on developing a love of the outdoors. Trips begin with a half-day of team-building and orientation at Wildwood Camp. Groups then travel to destinations around the Northeast. Along the way, they'll participate in a variety of outdoor adventures, learn the basics of Leave No Trace camping and trekking, and may meet with conservation professionals to participate in hands on environmental study or service. Participants practice outdoor living and develop a knowledge of the region's natural history.
Wildwood's one-week trek options are appropriate for teens with all levels of tripping and camping experience and good physical fitness. Teen Adventure Trips are recommended for teens entering grades 10-12.
Wildwood Camp is committed to providing a joyful and inclusive experience for all campers. Groups are small with two leaders and 5-8 teens. Trek campers will be assigned in 3+ person tents based on their requests and conversations with staff. There may be tent groups that are mixed gender based on these requests. If you have any requests or concerns for your child, please reach out to us at [email protected].
