Wilderness Adventure (ages 8-11)
June 14-25, 2009
Deaf and hard of hearing children, ages 8-11, will have
the opportunity to get acquainted with the wilderness
through day hikes and overnight camping trips. The
camping experience and participation in the ropes
challenge course develops self-confidence and
self-esteem. Team building is also an important theme
throughout all the activities, which may include a
variety of art and pottery classes, evening programs,
nature studies, horseback riding and outdoor games and
activities.
Mountain Bound (ages 11-14)
June 28-July 16, 2009
The youth attending Mountain Bound tend to get their
first taste of the Rockies during this
program, although novelty is not a prerequisite. The AC
welcomes all deaf and hard of hearing youth ages 11-14
to join this particular adventure. After stimulating
personal growth through a variety of activities at the
camp like evening programs, art and nature studies,
photography classes, and rafting, the youth then have
the opportunity of challenging their own limits on a
guided backpacking trip in the mountains.
Peak Extreme (ages 14-18)
July 19-August 6, 2009
Teenagers attending this session will have the chance to
confront and overcome their self-imposed limits. After
engaging in a wide variety of fun activities like
rafting, swimming in hot springs, horseback riding and
art and nature studies, the group prepares for the AC
signature multi-day backpacking trip in the mountains.
The teens learn survival skills through experiential
education techniques such as orienteering (map and
compass reading), basic mountaineering using rock
climbing essentials, and personal safety (food and gear
storage). Reaching mountain passes over 12,000 feet with
spectacular views of the Elk Range is often the
highlight of this multi-day backpacking experience.
