Mountain Biking     Fishing       Kayaking       Hiking       Beach Day       Climbing

Experience a fantastic introduction to Mountain Biking by traveling along the scenic bike trails in Manuel F. Correllus  State Forest.

The Mountain Biking Adventure starts with choosing the perfect bike for each student, focusing on safety and basic skills. Then the true excitement begins when we enter the 4, 343-acre Manuel F. Correllus State Forest. Here, students will experience vast terrain opportunities ranging from dirt to sand and paved trails while gaining a fundamental knowledge of the local ecology. The combination of adrenaline, learning, and sweeping vistas makes this an unforgettable day!

Enjoying the seas of the Atlantic Ocean on a fishing boat, we will find a plethora of fish while learning and embarking on the art of casting and deep sea fishing.

Today we rise early to catch the soaring fishing boat. Once aboard the licensed and Coast Guard inspected fishing boat, we leave the navigating to the powerful engine and get ready for the day's adventures. While learning the fine points of casting and deep sea fishing, we hook into conversations concerning local marine life and the ocean ecosystems. Once we have arrived at the famous fishing grounds of the Vineyard Sound, the catching begins!

Launch into a day of paddling with picturesque views in beautiful Sengekontacket Pond.

Kayak Adventures begins at Edgartown Beach with an introduction to paddling strokes and kayak safety in the shallows of Sengekontacket Pond. A variety of water obstacle courses allow us to test our skills and knowledge while taking in the natural beauty of the surrounding salt marshes. Once comfortable and looking savvy, the group will begin an on-water treasure hunt using maps and compasses to explore the coastal pond. With the extraordinary marine life we will encounter and discuss, the day can'­t get any better!

Spend the day trekking through wildlife sanctuaries and be amazed by the abundance of wildlife.

 

Continuing the adventures on our own two feet, we begin the trek through hundreds of acres of wildlife Sanctuaries.  A variety of habitats, including marshlands, forests, meadows, and the pond shore are accessed by a network of well-maintained trails and boardwalks.  With shorebirds, oystercatchers, mallards, swallows, barn owls, and osprey seen regularly, opportunities for nature study continually arise in this outdoor classroom.  Exciting educational activities such as bird blind and owl cam, causes the area to come alive and makes it difficult for anyone to want to go home!

There is nothing more pure then playing at the beach and working the waves on boogie boards.

 

After a fun-filled week of travels, a day at the beach is just the place to relax and soak in the sun. It is a day of choices! Campers are welcome to play games on the sand, hit the water for some boogie boarding, hike the nature trails, hunt for seashells, or nap in the midday sun. Nearby ponds offer nesting sites for shorebirds, as well as prime habitat for elusive osprey and eagles. With so many options, it is difficult to know what to do first!

NEW! Challenge yourself on a ropes course, climbing wall, or              zip line.

This summer we will be taking on ropes courses, climbing walls, and zip lines! We start the day by preparing with team building games and activities. Then we head to the challenge area where there are adventures for all ages, sizes, and abilities. Here, each camper will choose what they feel most comfortable doing. Whether it is sliding down the zip line or climbing to the top of the climbing wall or just playing around on the elements a foot off the ground, this day has something for everyone. With certified instructors and top of the line equipment each person will feel safe at all time.
