Trip Camp - Trailblazers
 


Trailblazers Ages 12-17
Cost: varies/week
**Includes Round-trip transportation between Southwick and program sites

The Trailblazers Program is geared towards our most experienced camper. The program brings together young people with similar outdoor interests, a zest for adventure, and love of the outdoors. While we remain stationed at Base Camp, we travel with campers to nearby sites that provide challenge and variety.

Our most senior counselors provide leadership and supervision, maintaining "safety-first" guidelines. Campers learn and refine technical skills in their favorite activity. They challenge their bodies and minds to reach new goals. Though physically tired (and dirty!) at the end of the week, Trailblazers return home energized with self-confidence and satisfied with their accomplishments.

Session 4 ~ The Radical Road Trip - Cost: $650.00

            This top-secret, adrenaline filled, and action packed week will keep the group guessing around each corner as they travel all over new England! Imagine this…Monday morning the adventurous group arrives and will be handed a clue. Together they must work as a team to figure out their first destination and map out their travel route. Participants must come with a spirit for adventure and mystery since day brings new destinations and challenges. By the end of the week your young adventurer is sure to come home tired, dirty and proud of their achievements. Don’t worry we’ll send parents top-secret information packets so you’ll know what and where we’ll be exploring.

Session 5 ~ Whitewater Kayaking - Cost $650.00

Get introduced to the thrill and adventure of whitewater kayaking under the instruction and guidance of WEU’s expert whitewater kayak instructors. The first day will be spent on a lake introducing and practicing foundation skills and concepts. The group will spend the next 3 days and 2 nights camping along the Deerfield River where they will see that the river is not just our classroom, it’s our playground! Challenging themselves in a safe and supportive environment, participants will come home water logged and wanting more time on the river!

Session 6 ~ Mountain Biking - $650.00

Back by popular demand! If you have a mountain bike and a sense for adventure this is the week of a lifetime for you! We begin the week with some basic lessons in riding technique; bike repair and maintenance; trail etiquette; nutrition and hydration. Bicyclists should expect to be challenged and to experience some of the best rides and climbs in the area! We’ll turn up the heat on super-challenging trails, and ease up on more moderate rides. This week truly has something to offer for every rider.
