Summer Camp Daily Activities 2016
Mountaineers (7-12 year olds)
Back Country Survival Course and Golf Mondays: Campers will venture into the wilderness in order to
develop survival skills like building a shelter, identifying edible plants, fire starting, and orienteering.
Then campers will make their way back to the Adventure Center for lunch before spending the afternoon
down at Stowe Country Club’s practice facility. They will hit balls on the driving range and participate in
our weekly putting contest!
Rock ‘n ROPE Tuesdays: Campers will climb in our new world class “Stowe Rocks” climbing gym to
experience the thrill of going vertical with ropes and harnesses! Campers will also participate in low
ropes course initiatives located at the Cross Country Center. We have several challenging elements set up
in the woods. It is an opportunity for individual achievement combined with team-building exercises.
Wilderness Hike Wednesdays: Campers will embark on an adventurous hike! A different Trail on Mt.
Mansfield, Spruce Peak or a destination nearby will be accessed each Wednesday. Our counselors have
spent time exploring these areas and have a wealth of experience and knowledge they can’t wait to share.
Each Camper will be rewarded for the efforts at the end of the day with a swim and a chance to design
their own Ice Cream Sundae!
Tree Top Adventure and Tennis Thursdays: Campers will trek over to Mt. Mansfield’s Tree Top
Adventure. It entails 6 different courses consisting of aerial tree-to-tree connections with 68 various
Challenge/Game elements intertwined in the experience. During their adventure, campers will ride ziplines, walk over suspended bridges, scramble up nets, cross swinging logs, climb rope ladders and much
more! All of this will take place under the canopy of the Mt. Mansfield Forest. On Thursdays Campers will
also take to the Tennis courts where they will practice and develop their skills with drills and games.
Disc Golf and X-Stream Fridays: Campers will spend the morning learning the skills to play Disc Golf.
Campers will have the opportunity to participate in several games including playing a round of Disc golf

Streaming”. Be sure to bring a bathing suit and water shoes as you will be challenged to jump from rock
