Peaks & Rivers

July 6 – 11, Ages 12 - 15

Summiting Camels Hump and canoeing down the Winooski River

Activity Level: Intermediate

We will begin this mountain adventure by following the Long Trail up the ridge towards Camels Hump. Establishing a base camp in the forest halfway up the mountain, we will summit the next day with light packs, take in the breathtaking views, and return to camp to rest by the campfire. On the way down, we will explore caves and waterfalls before setting up camp by the river. A lesson on how to navigate the white water below will prepare us for the last part of the expedition, finishing with a 2-day paddle down the Winooski River, camping, swimming, and negotiating the rapids.
