This program is designed for the camper who is ready for a program that goes beyond the central camp experience. It includes a three-day backpack trip, intermediate outdoor living skills and introductory training in survival skills. Advanced campers are routinely involved in the planning and arranging of meals, trip execution and morning prayer. This program is designed to be excellent preparation for our two-week Adventure/Survival program. Applicants need to be in good health for the physically strenuous activities involved. Acceptance will be determined by evaluation of the camper’s previously demonstrated ability to hike well and work harmoniously with others, as well as available space.

The Adventure/Survival program is a two-week program designed to be the culmination in both outdoor challenges as well as teamwork, leadership skills and spiritual development. This program includes advanced camp crafts, outdoor living skills as well as training in survival skills. Training will peak with the campers participating in a 24-hour solo that will allow them to demonstrate these new skills. The campers will also take part in a four-day backpacking trip, an orienteering trip to the ocean, and a high elements ropes course .

The spiritual program is just as challenging as the physical program. The advanced nature of Adventure/Survival activities requires intense teamwork and dependability with each individual. Special emphasis on self-awareness, spiritual growth and development of close friendships are all integral aspects of the experience. Adventure/Survival campers are responsible for planning and executing morning prayer.

Applicants need to be in good health for the physically strenuous activities involved. Acceptance will be determined by evaluation of the camper’s previously demonstrated ability to hike well and work harmoniously with others.

Graduate Program

Grade Requirement: 11th & 12th
Prerequisite: Applicant must have at least one previous summer’s experience at Camp or the approval of the Camp Director.

The Graduate program is the final stage of the camper experience. This co-ed program lasts one week, and is held in the Lost Cost, King Range. Graduate is based on a challenging hiking route that will start in the beautiful coastal mountains and end on the shores of Black Sands Beach. Built into this beautiful hike are exercises to help you explore the possibility of future leadership roles as well as develop and mature your spiritual understanding of yourself and your world.

The groups camp in separate sites but come together in the evenings for campfire revelry as well as spiritual discussion and challenges. This structure allows and encourages healthy social and spiritual interactions between the two groups. Although we consider this program complementary to our CIT program and staffing, you do not have to be a CIT to participate in Graduate, nor do you have to complete Graduate to become a staff member.

This exciting program is offered to any individual who is 17 and wishes to explore the possibility of becoming a counselor. This program will allow campers to take an in-depth look at the internal, external and spiritual journey from camper to counselor and will provide a safe environment for this transition by supporting quality decision making through guided personal choices.

The Voyage program will help campers learn to recognize and execute different types of leadership styles as well as creative problem solving skills. Voyage campers will have the opportunity to observe, plan and accomplish various leadership roles at Redwood Adventure Camp while being supported by active mentoring relationships. Campers in the Voyage program will leave with a sense of accomplishment and productivity and will be armed with the knowledge needed to become a counselor.

Although this program is recommended as preparation for becoming a counselor, it is not a requirement in the application for employment when the camper is 18.
