Don’t miss out on the fun this summer!

Campers entering grade 6-8 get ready for a summer adventure filled with team challenges, high tech treasure hunts, special event days, and much more. Make some new friends, and have a blast at Adventure Camp!

Optional basic swim stroke review and free swim and will be part of this camp (This is
not an American Red Cross sanctioned program). Each 2 week session will include trips
to: Brownstone, Farmington River Tubing, and Suffield Academy Outdoor Leadership
Center (ropes course, and rock wall). From these new experiences, campers discover in
themselves newfound confidence and strength. They learn how to trust in themselves,
and each other, as they work together to explore, problem-solve, and achieve common
goals. An empowering experience for all! Trip days may vary depending on the weather.
