Our Guided Programs Encourage Exploration
The children play games together, swim, eat lunch, and become familiar with local flora and fauna. We explore the area and encourage them to use their imaginations to have fun in the gorgeous natural surroundings. A main focus of our programs is to teach kids to appreciate and respect the environment while practicing "Leave No Trace" principles.
After having the time of their lives, campers head back to the R.A.D. van for the ride home!

"R.A.D. Camps have been wonderful for our son Sam.. In addition to fun and adventure, R.A.D. Camps have taught Sam to identify plants and animals, to be safe and start him down the road to self-reliance and appreciation of the natural world. Now our seven-year-old daughter can't wait to start this summer."
