Wilderness Explorers (8-14 Years)

Both camps are currently WAITLIST ONLY.

This unique camp, led by experienced Wilderness First Responders, campers, and teachers, introduces kids to outdoor living skills, exploration, and camping. 

Allegany Adventure
Campers will learn to build a fire, cook outdoors, construct a survival shelter, navigate using a compass and map to become a EFS Wilderness Explorer. During the first week, campers will experience tent camping right on-site at EFS. During the second week of the session, campers will build on their skills learned in week one while spending two nights camping in Allegany State Park.

Adirondack Adventure
This session is for experienced campers only. Campers will spend four nights during the second week in the Adirondack Mountains. There is no sleepover at EFS during this session. Campers MUST be between the ages of 10-14. There will be no exceptions to this policy.
