Base Camp (Sessions 1 & 2 “Classic” WA WA Program) Ages 8-12

Cost: $1,595 for each two week session

Campers thrive in a community environment that encourages self-expression, friendship building, risk taking, and outdoor play. Base Camp is the ideal introduction to overnight summer camp. Cabin groups of similarly aged and gender campers live together with a counselor and participate in a wide range of camp activities, skill classes, and recreation.

Teen Camp Ages 12-15

Cost: $1,595 for each two week session

Campers thrive in a program especially geared towards teens that includes hiking and enhanced skill building opportunities. Cabin groups of similarly aged and gender campers live together with a counselor and participate in a wide range of camp activities, skill classes, and recreation. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, at this time we do not know if this program will include the Appalachian Trail as it typically does. We will update families in the spring once we are able to review safety needs and new protocols from the Department of Health. Please note that if we are able to add significant day or overnight trips, a fee will be added to this program.
