what is adventure camp?

YMCA Camp Coniston’s Adventure Camp offers participants the opportunity to have exciting adventures in spectacular locations. The combination of camaraderie and activities makes this a program that campers will remember for a lifetime.

One-week trips in New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Quebec focus on climbing, hiking, whitewater rafting and biking in beautiful settings. Our dedicated and enthusiastic leaders are experienced and undergo a week of training prior to Camp.

These trips are scheduled to maximize your opportunity to pair one or more adventure programs with a resident Camp session.
