Trip Details

Course Description: Outback Adventures’ multi-sport adventure camp is a great way to introduce your child to the wonderful world of outdoor recreation. We will focus on learning the fundamentals of kayaking, rock climbing, and hiking while gaining a greater appreciation of the natural environment. Through interactive and cooperative games, discussions, and hands-on experience, our camps help build self-confidence as well as promoting teamwork and social skills.

Kayaking will take place at Outback Adventures’ Larkspur location. The temperate environment, sheltered waters, and abundant wildlife make this an ideal location for learning these skills. Mount Tamalpais State Park will be the setting for rock climbing on real rock! Exploring the many hiking trails of Mount Tamalpais will provide an opportunity for lessons in Natural history, orienteering, and good old-fashioned exercise. With safety as their number one priority, our experienced instructors provide a fun, informative environment for these adventures and will cater to each child’s individual needs.
