The first day of this session is spent at Birchwood Camp. Campers sharpen their canoe skills, check for correct backcountry gear and practice setting up camp on Birchwood's property. The next five days and four nights are spent away from camp, camping and canoeing the Swan Lake Trail system on the Kenai Peninsula. Campers gain experience in outdoor living skills, wilderness smarts and survival, and develop deep friendships as they enjoy Alaska's backcountry. Campers are guided by several experienced canoers and a wilderness first responder trained staff. Prior experience is not necessary but is recommended. This camp is open to all levels of outdoor enthusiasts. This is a perfect opportunity for campers to improve their outdoor skills and enjoy the beautiful setting that Alaska offers. This camp has limited space: only 10 camper spaces available—register early!
