Whatever their level of experience, we get campers comfortable riding at Staunton State Park’s world-class mountain biking trail system. Campers practice braking, cornering, uphill climbing, and managing a variety of features on two wheels. They will also learn more in-depth bike maintenance skills and have plenty of chances to push their limits.
At Staunton State Park’s nearby awe-inspiring walls and crags, campers of all skill levels will master techniques for conquering a variety of climbs. Campers get to practice their climbing skills and push themselves on fun routes. They also learn how to set anchors for a top-rope climb, tie knots, use climbing commands, belay each other and make sure their whole group practices sound judgment.
Out on the water at Nelson Pond (on-site) and Wellington Lake (off-site), campers hone their paddling skills, learning new strokes, attempting rescues and taking on all kinds of fun challenges like obstacle courses, races, and running across the boat bows.
At Camp Windy Peak, campers can explore a variety of exciting activities that encourage adventure and teamwork. They can climb 40 to 60 feet up Camp Windy Peak’s giant ponderosas and will get some of the best views of camp while practicing rappelling and balance. On our on-site Challenge Course, they’ll tackle fun teambuilding tasks—like walking across suspended logs and navigating a “spider’s web”—to enhance camaraderie and problem-solving skills. Additionally, campers can hone their marksmanship at the archery range, where they’ll learn techniques, equipment handling, and safety. While these activities are just a taste of what’s possible, each camper’s experience may vary!
