In California, Colorado, and Oregon there are so many opportunities to explore and adventure outdoors. And, getting our kids outdoors at a young age is perhaps one of the most important things we can do for their growth and development. By introducing kids to adventure sports like biking, rock climbing, hiking and paddling, we can inspire, teach and motivate them to live active, healthy lives and become stewards of the environment. By engaging in these activities outdoors at summer camp, kids can learn from incredible role models and also build confidence through positive risk taking.

You’ve heard the mention of a family trip here and there, but someone the other day mentioned how pumped they are to go to overnight camp — the endless activities, the sweet traditions, the friends they’re excited to see, the trips they get to go on — and no parents? It caught your ear in the moment but you think, 'There is no way my parents would go for that.'
