EXP. Woodland Adventures

This is Land-Based, and all campers participate in a variety of outdoor skills-based activities! Campers travel around the Riley's Lock area on various scavenger, treasure, and staff hunts. Explore the nooks and crannies of our outdoor neighborhood. A visit to the old Stone Mill will bring stories and imaginations to life, while a trek down the canal is a walk through time. With so many places to visit, and games up our sleeves, this program is a great chance for the group to bond, and the counselor to encourage the campers to play and create together. Campers learn about the river, do some service, and feel connected to their natural environment. Activities also include geo-caching.

All explorers do all activities, unless for health reasons. The campers will be on the trails and in the woods of our headquarters at Riley's Lock visiting many beautiful natural sites and historically significant places and buildings. Explorers learn about the workings of the canal, life on the C&O and all the great places to play along the Park.

Safety is our priority. Our staff recognizes the potential hazards involved in this activity, and has selected successful activities and activity locations, creating boundaries and structured games. Campers will be in the woods and many of the neighboring trails that neighbor the C&O Canal. As with any hiking experience, Poison Ivy and Ticks are a concern that we will be addressing.
