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 Stevens Creek
Reservoir near Cupertino. The temperate environment, sheltered
waters, and abundant wildlife make this an ideal location
for learning these skills. Castle Rock State Park will be
the setting for rock climbing on real rock! Exploring the
many hiking trails of Castle Rock 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.
