Adventure Camp
Dates: Summer 2026
Location: Paonia CO
Description: This adventure camp is for our current Academy families interested in spending five days with us in Paonia. Each of the four days of the trip will involve some activity – rock climbing (with guides), river rafting (with guides), and hiking.
All students (including high schoolers) need to be with families, or with an adult chaperone. I encourage you to connect with others in the Academy who you would like to be with, and determine which week is better to attend.
Activities:
Rock climbing with a local guide company ($90/person)
Rafting with a local guide company ($80/person)
Hiking (Free)
Accommodations:
Participants will have the option of camping on our property in Paonia, staying in a short term rental (such as Airbnb) or at a local hotel. If you are planning to find your own accommodations, we recommend that you do as soon as possible.
If you are planning on camping with us, please bring your own tent. You will have access to composting toilets and an outdoor shower. Camping cost: $10
Meals:
We are planning to have shared meals with all of the participants during the camp. There is a meal plan option with a cost of $23 per person each day that will cover breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The breakfast will be oatmeal with toppings, tea and coffee. Lunch will be a DIY bagged sandwich lunch with fruit and granola bars to take with us on our activities. Dinner is the main meal of the day with different options each evening.
