Survival Adventure Camp An overnight summer experience for Teenagers, 13-18
Don't just sit around this summer, get outside and do something fun, exciting, and different!
This is sure to be an experience to talk about for years to come. We will first spend 2 days and one night canoeing and camping along the blue river in Southern Indiana. The paddle adventure will take us along a beautiful waterway where we can camp along the shores, build a cooking fire, and sleep under the stars. Then on Tuesday we will turn in our canoes and head to the Hoosier National Forest. This new setting will be a great place to set up a survival base camp for the next 3 days. During the days we'll work on survival skills, go on wanders to explore the forest, and swim in the lake. Join us for this timeless adventure into Indiana's wilderness.
