Youth Camps & Programs
 
Kid's Camps ages 7 and Up
Our two- and five-day Kids' Summer Kayak Camps are awesome! We spend time on our shallow, kid-friendly lake perfecting stroke technique and playing games to improve balance and coordination. Toward the end of the week, we move the children to a section of river appropriate to their budding skill level. Pure fun!
The Rock & Roll Camp consists of two days of rock climbing and three days of kayaking in the Arkansas River Valley. This course provides children with an exciting introduction to these action-packed outdoor sports. This is a summer camp for the new millennium!
We offer super-exciting two- and five-day courses for introducing kids to rock climbing. The Kids' Rock Climbing Camp offers a great opportunity for kids ages 8 through 11 to focus on their climbing skills. Many who participate in our Rock & Roll Camps will choose to spend a second week focusing solely on their rock climbing.
Teen programs ages 12-17
We envision Rock & Roll Level 1 as an alternative to the run-of-the-mill summer youth camp activities. The camp consists of two days of rock climbing and three days of kayaking in the Arkansas River Valley. The Level 1 course provides participants with a solid introduction to these exciting adventure sports.
Our Level 2 Rock & Roll course serves as a great follow-up to our Level 1 course. Additionally, Level 2 may be just the ticket for teens who have previous experience in rock climbing and kayaking.
Our two- and five-day Teen Kayak Camps consistently win the most popular teen program award! The Teen Kayak Camp emphasizes safety and fun. We spend time on our lake perfecting stroke techniques and playing challenge games to improve balance and coordination. Toward the end of the week, we move on to the river.
We all know teens have a short attention span and love independence. Duckies offer a great introduction to the sport of kayaking, while providing a sense of freedom and a high thrill factor on the river! If time for a more thorough kayak instructional course is limited and getting on the river is your goal, then our one-day Ducky trip is the way to go. Perhaps the big kids (Mom and Dad) sign up for a kayak clinic and the teens take a Ducky adventure?
We offer one- two- and five-day rock climbing courses. The Rock Climbing Camps offer teens ages 12 - 17 the opportunity to push their limits in a safe and fun environment. Teens will learn essential knots, basic climbing technique and safety principles with our world-class instructors. It's rare to find a summer camp this exciting which also teaches focus and discipline. ALL teens dig this course, boys and girls alike.
RMOC leads some of the best Teen Backpacking programs in the world. Our three- and five-day courses emphasize outdoor skills and safety. Our curriculum is based in part on the seven principles of Leave No Trace. These trips allow our guides a unique opportunity to empower teens to explore outdoor ethics and self-reliance in a wilderness environment. An excellent choice for youth groups too, these experiences will last a lifetime.
These two- and five-day courses are a great way for teens to focus on riding skills as well as bike maintenance. The variety of mountain biking terrain in our area is endless. After completing this fun and action-packed course, students will feel comfortable riding on their own in a mountain environment and be able to handle basic bike mechanics. Top-of-the-line bikes and equipment are included. |
