The aim of the High Adventure program is to introduce the campers
to outdoor rock climbing, rafting, kayaking, and backpacking while also
working to develop and build skills with clinic style instruction before
each trip. Individual responsibility is given to campers during the
activities that are designed to build teamwork, leadership, and
communication skills, while enjoying the outdoors at a level challenging
to each campers abilities.
In addition, each of the sessions has specific time structured for
getting to know each other better and to build friendships and respect
through sharing experiences and understanding of each camper's
individuality.

During the three weeks, the majority of the time is spent in parks
primarily in Colorado. However, the program does leverage the
facilities at Anderson Camps for practice and learning. The camp, which
is located in Gypsum, is approximately 30 miles from Glenwood Springs on
the Western side of the state between Vail and Aspen. While at Anderson,
campers will enjoy using the 'artificial' climbing wall, rolling kayaks in
the pool and pond, rafting and kayaking on the 'camp stretch' of the
Colorado River, team-building and problem solving on the low-ropes course,
and the use of the showers! |
