The camp counselors will also help kids learn basic outdoor survival skills such as shelter building, map reading, and first aid. These skills are essential for anyone who enjoys exploring nature or spending time outdoors. Kids will also have access to the on-site ski lift, which is perfect for beginner skiers and snowboarders who want to try a new sport.
