Dare to Adventure

Making a positive impact on our ever-changing world
Coming Soon for 2025!

Dare to Adventure camp aims to provide more equitable access to the outdoors and American Youth Foundation programs by offering a low cost, mini-camp experience. Miniwanca staff lead activities designed to introduce youth to the outdoors and experience living joyfully in nature.

Campers experience traditional camp activities such as swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, high ropes and rock climbing courses, outdoor cooking and camping skills, and lots of fun, active games. They will also enjoy quieter moments of reflection and discussion about their values and what access to the outdoors means to them.

From the thrills of snowshoeing, tubing, and cross-country skiing, to unique opportunities like snowshoe archery, ice fishing, and winter outdoor cooking, there is never a dull moment. Campers will team up for a spectacular, camp-wide Winter Olympics, and warm up indoors with activities like arts and crafts, board games over hot cocoa, and our high ropes course. A combination of age-differentiated tracks and camper-choice blocks give each child a unique experience to step into their growth zone for the ultimate winter adventure.
