Your first camp and your next great adventure, it begins at Basecamp. Grades PK–4 Welcome to Basecamp, where kids can play, craft, and grow with new friends. They learn archery, create nature art, play games, and move with animal tracking inspired movement. Expert Trackers Mentors meet campers right where they are. First-time campers find caring Guides and growing confidence. Returning adventurers discover new skills to master. And everyone finds a community of fun and friends.
Basecamp grows with kids. A 4-year-old and a 4th grader share the same traditions of archery, crafts, games, and Trackers Lore. Each age group experiences them at their level. Adventure and fun are leveled up every step of the way.
