Expedition Multi-Sport 7th - 8th Grade in Curt Gowdy, WY

Our hikes get campers out onto the trails and into the varied landscape of Curt Gowdy State Park, teaching them about flora, fauna and the principles of Leave No Trace as they explore and gain respect for the natural world.

Campers of all levels will take to the park’s granite crags to learn the in’s and outs of skillful scaling, including climbing techniques, equipment use and safety precautions.

Whether they’re first-time bikers or regular riders, we get campers familiar with mountain biking technique, safety and equipment on Curt Gowdy’s 50+ miles of dedicated mountain bike trails. Campers may be divided into smaller groups based on biking ability.

Take to Curt Gowdy’s reservoirs for a canoeing adventure, fine-tuning your paddling technique, building balance and learning the basics of water safety and rescues.

Campers will set up their own campsite away from home, learning the ins and outs of camping as they sleep in tents, cook meals outdoors and maintain a tidy space. In their expedition group of no more than thirteen campers, they’ll play games, tell stories and bond around the campfire, making memories and forging lasting friendships.

As they interact with their expedition-mates during the week—playing games, hanging out during downtime—campers will practice important interpersonal skills like communication, problem solving and teamwork.
