The Four Pillars of The Adventure Program
Epic Adventures
Life Skills
Growing Friendships
Building Confidence
The Goals of the Four Pillars
-
Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and immersed in the beauty of nature, teens in the Adventure Program will embark on unforgettable experiences designed to challenge, inspire, and connect.
From exciting adventures to meaningful moments along the way, every part of the journey offers an opportunity to learn and grow. Teens will build confidence, strengthen friendships, discover new strengths, and create memories that last long after the trip ends.
-
We believe an adventure should be more than a memorable experience—it should help teens grow into capable, confident young adults. Throughout each trip, campers have the opportunity to develop practical skills, build independence, and practice navigating the challenges of adult life in a supportive environment.
On California Coastal Adventures, teens learn to challenge themselves, set healthy boundaries, communicate effectively, and navigate group dynamics—all while exploring the incredible California coast.
On the Great California Road Trip, teens take on real-world responsibilities like planning a trip, preparing meals for themselves and others, managing a budget, and making decisions as a group.
These are skills that extend far beyond the trip. Our goal is for teens to return home with not only incredible memories, but also greater confidence, independence, and a stronger sense of what they’re capable of.
-
Camp is about more than the places you’ll go—it’s about the people you’ll meet along the way. Through shared adventures, intentional team-building activities, and plenty of time to laugh, connect, and unwind together, teens build friendships that are just as unforgettable as the experiences themselves.
On California Coastal Adventures, teens stay together in cabins onsite at camp, creating a built-in community from the very beginning. On the Great California Road Trip, teens bunk together in hostels throughout the journey, sharing new experiences and navigating each day side by side.
Teens may arrive as acquaintances—or complete strangers—and leave with friendships that feel like they’ve lasted a lifetime.
-
We believe one of the best ways to build confidence is to try something new, take a healthy risk, and discover what you’re capable of.
The Adventure Program gives teens plenty of opportunities to stretch beyond their comfort zones, take on new challenges, and push themselves to new heights—all within a supportive environment. Just as importantly, teens learn that growth doesn’t always mean pushing through. When they reach their limits, they have the opportunity to practice setting boundaries, listening to themselves, and navigating peer pressure with confidence.
Tiered Payment Options:
Tiered pricing is a trust based system that allows you to pick the price that works for your family. We ask that you pay Tier 1 whenever possible to ensure camp prices stay affordable for families in need. Families that need additional assistance beyond tiered pricing can apply to receive financial aid which is supported by individual donations, organizations, and grants. You can find more on financial aid here.
