Week 2, July 7 – 12, Ages 12 - 14

Mountain Peaks & Rivers

Trekking along the spine of the Green Mountains and canoeing down the Winooski River.

Activity Level: Intermediate - Strenuous.

We will begin this adventure by following the Long Trail along the ridge of the Green Mountains, over the summit of Camel’s Hump, and down to the Winooski River working together setting camp each night along the way. At the river, we will load our canoes and paddle downstream, all the way to Lake Champlain! In the first half of the trip, we will navigate with map and compass, learn to hike with light packs, and marvel at the world below from the summits. In the second half of the trip, we will become confident paddlers, swim, play in and around the river, and enjoy evenings by the campfire. A great way to spend a week of summer with a group of kids who love adventuring in the outdoors.
