Our 6-day Young Adventurer's Program in Washington’s Olympic National Park is designed for participants ages 11-13 who are either new or experienced backpackers. (Youth will be grouped with like ages.) This adventure summer camp in Olympic National Park focuses on leadership and outdoor skill-building with teens camping and hiking beside high alpine lakes, rivers, waterfalls, and meadows. Most trips have an opportunity to summit peaks and/or partake in some spectacular sunsets among some breath-taking geological formations. Risk-taking and challenges complimented by fun and support from others lead to a positive and often life-changing adventure for all! Voted as one of the "Best Backpacking Programs for Youth out West," (by Outside Magazine) our Olympic Program was new in 2020 after expanding from Yosemite where we are the #1 guide service and summer camp. 2025 Dates: 6/22-6/27 6/29-7/4 7/6-7/11 7/13-7/18 7/20-7/25 7/27-8/1 8/3-8/8 8/10-8/15 8/17-8/22 8/24-8/29

Q&A

Q: What should my kid pack for the 6-Day Young Adventurers Camp? Are there any specific items you recommend?

A: Definitely pack lightweight clothing that can handle all types of weather—think layers! A good waterproof jacket is a must. Don’t forget a sturdy pair of hiking boots, a hat for sun protection, and a refillable water bottle. Also, they’ll provide backpacks and sleeping gear, but maybe throw in a personal comfort item like a small pillow or stuffed animal if it helps with homesickness.

Q: Is there a way to reschedule if my kid can't make it on the original dates?

A: Yes, you can usually reschedule if needed, but make sure to contact the provider well in advance. They’re pretty flexible as long as there’s space in other sessions. It’s good to check their policy directly on their site or call them for the most accurate info. They really want every kid to have the best experience!

Q: Are there age limits for this camp? My kid just turned 11 and is super into hiking!

A: Yes! This camp is specifically designed for kids aged 11-13. It’s a great way for them to meet peers who share their interests. Plus, being in the same age group really helps with bonding. Your kid will have the chance to be around other young adventurers just like them!

Considering the 6-Day Camp for My 12-Year-Old – Any Insights?

I’m thinking of getting this experience for my daughter who just turned 12. She loves the outdoors but has never done a camp like this. I've heard great things about the Olympic National Park and this Young Adventurers program seems perfect! What have other parents experienced? Any tips or concerns I should know about?

Just Signed My Kid Up for the 6-Day Camp!

I finally pulled the trigger and booked the 6-Day Young Adventurers Camp for my 11-year-old! I’m so excited for him. He’s been hiking with me since he could walk and this seems like such an awesome growth opportunity. Anyone have stories or advice on what they loved most about the camp?
