Wilderness Explorers (8-14 Years)
|
Each session is a unique one week camp, led by experienced teachers and Outdoor Educators, that introduces kids to outdoor living skills, exploration, and camping. Allegany Adventure On Monday and Tuesday, campers train like true EFS Wilderness Explorers, mastering core survival skills such as fire-building, outdoor cooking, shelter construction, and map-and-compass navigation. Midweek, the adventure goes full immersion! From Wednesday through Friday, campers head to Allegany State Park for a two-night camping experience, applying their new skills in the great outdoors—building confidence, teamwork, and independence along the way. (Please note: there is no overnight stay at EFS before the trip.) Letchworth Adventure The journey begins on campus as campers train to become EFS Wilderness Explorers! During the first two days (Monday–Tuesday), campers will learn essential outdoor survival skills, including fire-building, outdoor cooking, shelter construction, and navigation using a map and compass. From Wednesday through Friday, campers take their skills into the wild during a two-night camping adventure at Letchworth State Park—highlighted by an unforgettable white water rafting excursion on the second day of the trip. Campers will build confidence, independence, and teamwork while putting their skills to the test in a real wilderness setting. (Please note: there is no overnight stay at EFS prior to departure.) All campers receive a special EFS branded camp souvenir for their trips! Directors Steve Rao and Scott Lawson, EFS teachers and experienced Outdoor Educators
