Out-Tripping
An Out-Trip is an overnight trip that some campers do during their week of camp! It’s often the highlight of the week and a unique experience to introduce youth to hiking, backpacking and/or camping.
Most campers in traditional camp (age 12+ only), the LIT Program, Summit and Journey Specialty Camps, will participate in an out-trip.
Campers learn how to set up camp using tarps and sleep under the stars. The difficulty level and proximity to camp is determined based on the group of campers involved.
Out-trips may be cancelled as a result of adverse weather conditions or due to the physical abilities and / or maturity of the group of campers.
Campers should pack all the required materials, including a sleeping bag, sleeping mat or pad and large (45-60L) backpack, as listed in the Packing List. Campers are responsible for carrying their own materials, and assisting in some group gear, such as tarps or food (provided by us).
Campers depart camp with their Cabin Leaders and an Out-trip Leader and are supervised at all times. In the event of an emergency, campers may return to camp under the discretion of the Out-trip Leader and/or Admin Team.
