Our first summer camp session begins in just about a month, and we’re about to wrap up our registrations for this season. Here’s a summary of our offerings:
• The Rocks, Ropes and Boats camps have been the core of our summer camp program for 8 seasons. This day camp is offered for kids from ages 7-13. Over five days, you child will experience low and high ropes course challenges, rock climbing, hiking and a boat building challenge on Tahoe. More importantly, they will develop self confidence, leadership skills and friendships that will last a lifetime. Two sessions of camp will be offered: July 9-13 (about 90% full) and July 16-20 (about 75% full).You can find complete details about our Rocks, Ropes & Boats camps here.
• The High Adventure Camp is returning for summer of 2018. This overnight camp is offered for teens ages 13-17. The five day camp includes two days at the Project Discovery ropes course to build confidence and leadership skills. This will be followed by a 3 day canyoneering adventure in the Northern Sierra, weather and conditions permitting. This camp is designed for teens that have experience with adventure activities like backpacking and rock climbing. One session of camp will be offered from July 23-27. This camp is also currently 75% full. You can find complete details about the High Adventure Camp here.
Here’s what parents have told us about our camps:
The Adventure Camps have been the absolutely best thing for my daughter and she has grown so much and made so many friends. She looks forward to them every year! – Afshan West, Parent
My daughter has practically grown up in this program and looks forward to it every year. The courage and maturity she has gained from all the years in your summer camps has been extraordinary. – Kris Hemline, Parent
All of my kids have benefited greatly from being involved in the Project Discovery summer camp program. They always return stronger, more confident and with plenty more stories, and more importantly, good friends from their summer camp adventures. – Josh Pollock, Parent
You couldn’t ask for a better program to get students out into nature and connecting more with themselves and their friends than Project Discovery’s. Thanks for all the good work you do! – Melinda Blackwell, Teacher, Galena HS and Equis Insight Program Director
Not only was this camp fun for my son, it was transformative. After the week was out, he independently tried activities and challenges that we’d been encouraging (unsuccessfully) for years! He came home with increased confidence and independence that he uses in all aspects of his life. Thank you Project Discovery! – Jen S., Parent
