Hike Choices:
Bald Spot: A popular hike among summer campers, this hike gives you a birds’ eye view of camp. If it’s quiet enough and you are loud enough, you can call down to people in camp and hear them call back! The rocky “bald spot” is also a great place to take photos and enjoy the view.
Hinterlands: Difficulty level is moderate. Relatively short distance, although mostly inclines.
Cornish/Northgate Ruins: Explore the hauntingly beautiful collection of ruins called Northgate (or the Cornish Estate). Difficulty level ranges from rustic, unleveled roads to mild inclines. This is also a great option for families with children.
Please Remember:
- All participants must register in advance (see the form below). If you have not registered in advance, you will not be allowed to enter Camp.
