Do you like camping and hiking? Want to learn the basics of backpacking and wilderness travel but not miss out on the full range of summer camp activities? Maine Woods Discovery is an introduction to the freedom and self-reliance of heading off into the woods with all you need for your journey on your back. Living at a base camp, the group will develop outdoor skills and meet personal challenges. Daily hikes to some of Western Maine’s most beautiful peaks, and swimming in crystal clear remote swimming holes will fill the long summer days. Students will learn minimum impact camping techniques, trip planning, and packing tips. Day hikes will challenge the group, while setting a pace that allows for exploration and fun. This program is an excellent introduction to the outdoors, and is a great follow-up to Conservation Camp or Natural Explorer.
