Summer 2025 Adventure Trips

Experience camp in a new way!

Embark on an adventure you’ll never forget!
Hike, canoe, fish, rock climb, try geocaching, and so much more!
Bring a friend and discover the incredible Peace Region backcountry!

Please note that all Adventure Trip participants will be sleeping in tents, cooking meals over the fire, and spending most of their time outdoors, fully immersed in nature. You’ll experience everything the wilderness has to offer, all while being supported and supervised by our experienced and skilled staff. Be sure to pack appropriately for this exciting outdoor adventure!

What is Adventure Trips?

Adventure Trips is perfect for those who want to experience a more “traditional” style of camping. Think meals cooked over the fire, sleeping in tents or lean-to shelters, and traveling to your campsite by foot or canoe… and that’s just the beginning!
Depending on the trip, you might spend the night at our main site or deep in the wilderness. Some trips will have you staying at the same campsite each night, while others will take you on a journey where you set up camp at a new spot every day.

Each trip is led by a trained and qualified guide, along with other camp staff, and has had a reconnaissance trip done before hand to ensure a safe trip. 
*Due to the nature of Adventure Trip programs we are unable to provide special food for different diets. Because of this, we’re unable to accept campers with specific food needs.*

Registration Deadline

It’s always best to let us know as early as possible if you’ll be attending camp, so we can prepare properly. However, registration will close 5 days before each camp. This gives us time to prepare gear, food, and staff, and to connect with each camper to make sure they’re ready for the trip ahead.

In some cases, we may need to cancel a camp if there aren’t enough campers. Be sure to invite a friend so you can both join in on the adventure!

Can Parents Come on Trips?
In previous years, we’ve had parents join trips not just as participants, but also as leaders! If you’re interested, there will be some paperwork to complete.

Contact the office, and we’ll be happy to answer any questions and help you get started on joining this amazing adventure!

Does my camper need to have any special skills to come?
 

Trailblazer Camps: All you need is a love for adventure and a great attitude!

Pathfinder Camp: To join this camp, campers must have completed a Trailblazer Camp.

Our staff will teach campers the basic skills they’ll need before the trip starts and will help them build on those skills throughout the adventure. However, if your camper didn’t enjoy out-trips at Moberly Lake or family camping trips, this might not be the right program for them, as every night involves an out-trip.

Where do the campers sleep?
 

Your camper will be spending the nights in a tent, either at Moberly Lake or in the beautiful front/back country of the Peace River Region. This will be an exciting opportunity for them to experience camping in a more adventurous setting, surrounded by nature. They’ll have the chance to sleep under the stars, enjoy campfire meals, and fully immerse themselves in the great outdoors. Please make sure they’re ready for this authentic wilderness experience!

Volunteer for Projects

HOW DO I VOLUNTEER?

There are so many opportunities to volunteer, and so many who come and help us in one way or another. We appreciate all.

Some projects cannot be done while camp sessions are in process. Others can.Our Property Chair is responsible to manage camp property projects.

We may have 2-3 ongoing projects at a time. We have three thoughts regarding volunteers.

  • Volunteers may help with basic upkeep as needed – i.e. mowing lawns, stacking firewood, etc.
  • Volunteers may help with current projects – these are prioritized by the Property Committee.
  • Volunteers may offer to begin another project on the condition that they finish what they start and that they do it to camp standard. What is done well is safer and saves on maintenance in future years.

For each of the above, please let us know by contacting the office. We will either provide the information or pass you on to our Property Chair.
