Adventure Trekker’s
7th – 8th Grades
Co-Ed
Hallmarks
This camp is not your typical resident camp, but instead is more similar to that of our backpack trips. Campers will spend their time with Sonlight backpack guides (also trained as their counselors), learning the ins-and-outs of backpacking, wilderness stewardship, orienteering, geocaching, and more! Their time will be spent between the Sonlight Backpack Base and actually out camping/backpacking on some of the best, most beautiful trails in the area!

FAQ's
How do you hire and train your staff?
We hand-pick college students through our selective hiring process. Pre-summer, our staff go through an extensive 10-day orientation and training. Our summer staff are fully trained in areas such as child development, homesickness, bullying, behavior management and safety. You entrust us with your child and we do not take that lightly. We want your child to have the best summer camp experience possible.
Still have more questions? Call us! Emrys and Sara Tyler, Directors: 970.264.4379 or Becca Berger, Backpack Coordinator: 970.264.4379. Visit American Camp Association’s www.campparents.org for advice, how to choose the right camp, the impact of summer camp on child development and helpful information. We believe in the benefits of summer camp. We hope you will too!
