Questions?

Sky Explorers is a middle school camp week built around one unforgettable question: how high will you go? The centerpiece of the week is an offsite trip to a local high ropes course, where campers navigate challenging bridges, cable walks, and climbs up to 25 feet in the air. It’s the kind of experience that looks impossible from the ground — and feels incredible once you’ve done it.

What makes it more than just a thrill is the community around it. Campers cheer each other through the hard moments, celebrate every summit, and return to camp having seen each other at their most courageous. That bond carries through the rest of the week — into camper-chosen activities like rock climbing, archery, canoeing, guitar, and cooking, plus regular time at the pool and craft lodge.

Guided by caring, college-aged counselors all week long, Sky Explorers gives middle schoolers a place to be challenged, supported, and genuinely proud of what they accomplish. Some weeks at camp are fun. This one is transformative.
