education programs, can be tailored to hit major curriculum points.

for junior and senior high classes looking for an outdoor adventure experience, making use of the wilderness landscape surrounding
Camp Encounter and our adventure program areas including archery, rock wall climbing, low ropes, and challenge courses.
Social
Justice Retreats: High school social justice groups will find Camp Encounter a beautiful backdrop for community building,
planning for their yearly activities, and our sessions thought provoking and inspiring.
Team Building
Retreats: A great time for kids to come together and learn about themselves and each other, leaving the cares of
the city behind them. Through exciting games and activities, and a trip through our challenge course a bunch of kids who thought
they only had homeroom in common can become a cohesive group and begin to build friendships to last through their school careers
and beyond.
Teacher/ Professional Development Retreats: A great chance for the staff to reconnect
and hold development seminars.
Environmental and Ecological Education Experiences:Learn about the wonders
of our natural environment in the wilderness that covers Camp Encounter's property. From animal tracks to trees
and forests, the aim of our activities are education, preservation, and fun!
Outdoor Education Retreats:
For Schools with an active outdoor education program we recommend giving us a call to customize a retreat.
Our staff is qualified to teach many outdoor skills such as: shelter crafting, fire building, plant identification,
animal tracking, campfire cooking, primitive earth skills, and more.
