Develop backpacking and survival skills this week. Sleep in the comfort of a platform tent; then pack gear and food for the week and discover the far end of camp at Big Sky, putting up tents, cooking meals over a fire, finding your way with a compass and practicing your archery skills. Bond with your counselors and fellow campers, play team-building games, explore the night. Return in time for an amazing dinner, closing campfire and the traditional Trail Spa Night in the lodge.
Due to extreme nature of this program, participants must have attended resident camp at least twice prior to this session and must have strong outdoor skills. Personal outdoor equipment (miss kit, backpacking pack, sleeping bag and pad, etc) is required. Weather conditions and skill level of the camper will affect the level of éxtreme'that is possible, so come ready for anything!
