These high adventure activities are fun but require additional packing items for safety. Hiking and rappelling require hiking shoes/boots with significant tread to grip on steep slopes and loose rocks. Please don’t plan to use your normal everyday tennis shoes for these activities. Whitewater rafting requires closed-toe water shoes. No one may be barefoot on the raft trip.

Each cabin group has at least 2 dedicated staff including a cabin counselor and licensed healthcare provider. These cabins function as a “mini camp” and do all their activities in common.  They often join additional cabin groups or the entire camp for joint activities.
