To allow you to continue making plans for your summer, we are holding off on charging camp fees. Please register for camp. You will need to go through the entire registration process, but your charge will be zero.

When the program does run, participants will be required to pay two weeks prior to the start date of camp.


Peak-bagging is the attempt to reach multiple summits and during this 5 day program we will have our sights set on tall peaks and teamwork. Daily activities will include lots of hiking, swimming in nearby lakes and exploring the White Mountains. At night, we will head to our campsite for communal dinners, campfires and lots of laughs.
