Expedition Multi-Sport Sly Park - 7th to 8th Grade - Expedition

Designed for campers of all experience and ability levels, our weeklong multi-sport expedition camp lets campers explore local landscapes, taking on a range of adventure sports by day and camping under the stars by night. 

After setting up a campsite that will serve as their home base for the week, campers (no more than 13 to a group with 2 staff members) discover what the “multi” in our multi-sport program really means. Namely, embarking on a different adventure every day – biking the park’s extensive trails, climbing a crag, paddling SUP and kayak, white water rafting – all the while building technical skills and fostering a deeper appreciation for the outdoors. 

From cooking their own meals on camp stoves to sleeping in tents, expedition campers learn to meet countless challenges with intelligence and poise. It’s a confidence-building, life-changing experience that gives them the skills and independence they need for a lifetime of adventure.

Located in the Sly Valley in the Sierra foothills and anchored by Jenkinson Lake, the Sly Park recreation area is home to miles of trails through meadows and woodlands with endless opportunity for adventure.
