Deer Crossing Wilderness Camp - 4-Week Wilderness Immersion

In-depth wilderness camp experience. Four-week campers improve their outdoor skills in rock climbing, windsurfing, kayaking, sailing, technical tree climbing, and canoeing. They participate in all core and optional activities, backpacking and canoe-camping out-trips, campfire, end-of-session BBQ, and optional one-day whitewater rafting. Four weeks is the best way to maximize the return on your camp investment--campers come home with greater self-esteem and resilience as well as new skills in their favorite camp activities.

A wilderness adventure for 8-17 year olds on beautiful Loon Lake in Eldorado National Forest near Lake Tahoe. Deer Crossing Camp is an ideal opportunity for campers to experience life away from the pressures of technology where friendships are made face-to-face. Our wilderness, off-the-grid, lakeside location provides a beautiful and safe environment for campers to challenge themselves. Our focus is two-fold: (1) build self-esteem through competence (Canoeing, Sailing, Rock Climbing, Windsurfing, Technical Tree Climbing, Kayaking, Backpacking, and more); and (2) true leaders first learn to lead themselves. Our handsome mountain lodge houses the dining hall, kitchen, crafts room, first aid room, and bathrooms with flush toilets and real showers.
