Trip Specifics
Days 1 and 2 - Arrival, teambuilding, and intro to Rock Climbing. The first couple of days of this program are designed to bring the kids together as a strong cohesive group and begin introducing the skills that will be used on the rest of the trip. Arrival is at 2PM of Day 1 and that afternoon is spent doing initiatives and ropes course elements before settling in to a campfire that evening. Day 2 is all about Rock School.
Days 3-5 - Canoe and camp on the North Platte River. The first day of Canoeing is all about teaching skills, paddle strokes and getting used to life on the water. From there, the group will spend the next two days navigating the stretches of river and coming together around a fire at their campsites on the rivers edge.
Days 6-8 - Backpack in the Snowy Range of Wyoming. The Snowy Range is pristine backcountry for a 3 day introduction to backpacking. The terrain will be challenging while still setting the group up for success as they come together and take on roles of Leaders of the Day.
Day 9 - Climb in legendary Vedauwoo, WY. On the way back home, the climbing in Vedauwoo, is just too good to pass up. Under the watchful eyes of our instructors and our "Master of Mountain Goating" AKA Climbing Guru, the kids will belay eachother as they scale big rocks, cracks and cliffs before heading back to Educo Adventure Camp for a final night of bonding.
Day 10 - Slade Challenge and departure. The Slade Challenge is the final challenge for each group in our program. Learn more about it here!
