Drop off and pick up for ALL TRIPS takes place at our location in Sandwich. All groups spend a day at our Base Camp planning for their trip, and then travel as a group in our camp vehicles to the location of their adventure!

Absolutely! You can link multiple trips by registering for our Mini-Adventure Weekend option for the weekend in between your trips. Most campers choose to attend for at least two weeks.

We accept one friend request per camper, per session. This is done at the time of online registration.  All campers will have plenty of time together, regardless of tent assignments. Campers do not spend time hanging out in “tents groups” outside of sleeping hours.

Due to our small group sizes, we cannot accommodate large groups of friends. We do accept one friend request per camper, which must be a mutual request. If larger groups of friends are interested in a shared camp experience, we recommend registering for the same week, but different Adventure Trips. All groups at Adventure Trips during the same week will see each other and share some meals and activities together, but will also have separate experiences based on the focus of each individual trip.

Campers ages 12-17 are able to participate in Adventure Trips programming. Some trips have specific age or experience requirements, which can be found on the Summer Trips page.

Our Adventure Trips have between six and 12 participants in each group.

Groups are usually co-ed. We ensure that co-ed groups have a balance of girls and boys. Our groups of 12 campers are split either 6/6 or 7/5 for gender. In some instances, we may have single-gender groups, based on interest in that session. Sleeping and bathroom areas are single-gender.

We ask that you do not pick up any camper during a session, as it strongly impacts their and the other campers’ trip experience. We thank you in advance for selecting the correct session(s) for your summer schedule. Please contact the director of your child’s program immediately if you have an issue with any of the dates scheduled.
