Overnight outdoor camp for youth completing grades 4–10
Looking for a summer camp that goes beyond the ordinary? With a special focus on the outdoors, this group camps out every night, takes a 12 mile bike ride, paddles on the river for a day, and cooks meals outdoors.
Adventure Camp at Claggett is a one-of-a-kind outdoor experience designed for youth who love the wild, the woods, and the thrill of the unknown. Campers will hike, bike, canoe, and kayak, all while camping out at Claggett’s rustic cabin site for the full week—building resilience, leadership, and deep bonds with new and old friends.
Each day is packed with hands-on outdoor skills, teamwork challenges, and time for reflection and fun around the campfire. As with all Claggett camps, the week also includes daily chapel that invites campers to explore faith through creation, community, and wonder.
Ready to unplug and dive into the great outdoors? Adventure Camp space is limited.
