S@SS Adventures

Entering Grades 6th - 9th

Climb, aim, cast, and soar! S@SS Adventures is the specialty camp that incoporates all the fun in just one week!

Campers will enjoy time on our Low Ropes Course, conquering challenges like the Mohawk Traverse and Spider Web, while building confidence, teamwork, and trust. They will test their rock climbing skills, learning wall safety, knots, belay techniques, and climbing skills — all while discovering the thrill of overcoming obstacles. Certified instructors will coach campers as they improve their archery skills, while they learn the proper techniques and enjoy fun games. Campers will also spend their days fishing, while they learn the basics about gear, bait, and tackle from expert instructors.

And for the ultimate rush, campers will soar through the treetops at one of North America’s largest zip line and aerial tree courses, The Adventure Park at Sandy Spring.

Teamwork, skill-building, and adventure combine for an unforgettable experience with this specialty camp!
