Important things to know:

We want this to be an awesome experience for you and your kids, and what makes an experience awesome for one person is different for another. Because of this, here’s some important things to know about the weekend!

You can participate in what you would like to participate in and to the extent you’d like to participate. We’ll have some activities and aspects of the trip that can be adapted to help meet the needs of kids in certain age groups. This is also our way of giving you permission to decide alongside your kid(s) what you’d like to do more or less of. We want you to feel like you can take care of your family’s unique needs while still being a part of the experience.

There will be some competition, but this trip is not about competition. The raft building activity and other games will involve competition, but we generally de-emphasize the results of competition and instead highlight the process. This helps hold everyone’s effort in high regard and gives us all things that deserve recognition in the process. 

Whether your family is new to camping or you’re all super-experienced campers, this trip is for you. Sharing knowledge and experience is one of the ways we build community. We all have to start somewhere with being outdoors and camping. For those that are new to camping, our guides we’ll help answer your questions and help support you and your kids to make it an awesome camping experience.

Frequently Asked Questions:


Q: What age of kids is the trip designed for?

A: This trip can be an awesome experience for kids ages 2 through the teenage years. Because you’ll have the freedom to participate in the events that you’d like to, you can meet the whole family’s preferences. Activities will be adjusted to be able to meet the skills and developmental needs of kids in various age groups.


Q: I’ve got multiple kids in my family. How many can I bring?

A: You can bring as many kids as you like. Keep in mind what kind of experience you would like to have or the goal of your trip. Depending upon that, you might decide to bring just one of your kids, all of your kids, just the boys, or just the girls. It's up to you. 


Q: My kids are hungry all the time OR my kids are picky eaters. Can we pay for the provided food but also bring some of our own snacks or food.

A: Yes. Please specify with us about which of our meals you’ll be partaking in. We will let the group know if there is a severe food allergy for anyone present and request that food not be brought on the trip or other accommodations are made.
