SUMMER MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE CAMPS 2011
Enjoy the flexibility of a Children’s Summer Adventure Camp pass. Accompanied by our seasoned Camp Leaders, Heather Jarochym, Jimmy Doykos, Nate Gardner and Mark Aiken,
children will explore nature at its best…from hikes up Mt. Mansfield
and Spruce Peak; to “extreme streaming”; to testing their skill on our
low ropes course, campers are sure to be challenged. Campers will learn
golf skills & drills and join friends in a game of disc golf,
soccer or volleyball.
Campers will also spend a day on the attractions (bungee trampoline, climbing wall, alpine slide and more) at Spruce Peak. Yes parents…we take the kids to the attractions so you don’t have to. There will be arts & crafts, swimming and hanging out at base camp with new friends.
Everyday is an adventure full of fun and learning at Stowe Mountain Resort’s Summer Camp Adventure Program, where children have the experience of a lifetime. Check out our Camp in Action.
