We offer a Standard and an Advanced version of our RR&B Camps. Rocks, Ropes and Boats Standard Camp caters to campers age 6-10 and is a wonderful opportunity for younger or first-time campers.
Our standard Rocks, Ropes and Boats Camp samples local adventures in the Tahoe area beginning with a challenging Low and High Leadership Challenge Program at one of the largest Ropes Courses in America. The rest of the week is spent trying out rock climbing, rappelling and outdoor education climaxing with a hike into a wilderness beach at Lake Tahoe.
The Advanced camp caters to campers age 8-12 and also begins with a few days on the Ropes Course on more advanced elements followed by a day rock climbing and rappelling on more advanced terrain. In addition advanced campers have an opportunity to rappel down a waterfall into the Truckee river. They also do a small summit climb above Lake Tahoe on the hiking day and they enjoy river tubing on the Truckee (conditions permitting) rather than a beach day at the Lake.
In either camp, Campers are sure to experience exciting and dynamic outdoor adventures and make new friends with their team as they explore the Tahoe outdoors together!
Note: This is a day camp. All campers will be dropped off and picked up each day.
All Project Discovery Camps not only provide campers a great adventure in the Northern Sierras area but also focus on helping students find and celebrate their own leadership strengths, both as individuals and as team members. All camp weeks end with an appreciation circle celebrating each camper’s accomplishments and growth during the week. Program goals include improving leadership skills, responsibility, self-confidence, communication skills and of course, the making of new friendships. Our overarching goal is to help children discover their strengths, work on their weaknesses and make new friends under the blue skies of a Sierra summer.

“This is my daughter’s third year in camp here and she just can’t get enough of it. She was pretty shy her first year but has made friends she sees throughout the year and has really developed much more confidence in herself and her abilities.”
