ers Outdoor Education . Base Camp Adventures

·       Team Building-  Participants work (and play) through a succession of challenges starting with simple grass games and ending with a high rope challenge.  This one-day program is a great tool for building teamwork in any group.  The succession is designed so that each individual must rely and trust more in each other and in themselves, as the activities become more challenging.  This program will take between six and seven hours including a break for lunch.  Half-day program will not include high ropes elements.

·        Rock Climbing-  Rock climbing is a fun, safe, and adventurous sport.  Half day climbing classes are done on our base camp rock wall with some possible real rock bouldering if time allows.  Full day climbing classes will learn the basics of climbing on our rock wall in the morning and hit the real rock in the afternoon! We can teach beginning through advanced rock climbing techniques.  Beginners will learn how to top rope belay, and will be able to climb on a wall suited to their ability.  More advanced groups will discuss lead climbing techniques, traditional vs. sport climbing, and proper climbing techniques.  Of course climbing is the best way to learn how to climb so participants will climb for as long as time allows after safety orientation and other instruction from our staff.

·        Wilderness Living/survival-  Learn how to build a fire during a rainstorm, find dry wood after a torrential downpour!  Build a shelter find drinking water and learn where to find food in the woods!  Learn how to survive and travel in the woods with style!  This class is almost limitless in activities and possibilities.  The more time you have the more cool stuff we can do! 

·        Canoeing-  Canoeing is possibly the oldest known form of transportation and is still possibly the best way to travel over the water using only manpower.  Paddling a canoe in a straight line is not as easy as you may think!  Most people have paddled a canoe before but most people could not paddle a canoe down a river without “pinballing” from bank to bank!  Lean the cross bow draw, prying, and many other strokes that will help you to really control your canoe!  Learn how to paddle into the wind and unswamp a swamped canoe in the middle of a large lake!  If time and weather allow we will also play some fun canoe games so come prepared to get wet!

·        Hiking / Environmental study-  Our base camp is surrounded by thousands of acres of state land!  The Lord has blessed us with a beautiful creation and it is one of our joys to be able to share it with you.  We can spend the day hiking a trail stopping along the way to discover exciting things about creation and the Lord who created it, or we can stay closer to base camp and get our hands dirty digging into the ponds and woods surrounding the camp.
