Welcome to this great outdoor adventure! This Quest is perfect for anyone who has never been to Camp Tawonga before or wants to try a Quest after being at camp for a summer. Campers stay on camp property Sunday, Monday, and Thursday nights (see itinerary below). On these nights they will not be sleeping in cabins. Instead the group will sleep outside together, much like a backpacking trip. All meals, except a final banquet on Thursday evening, will also be eaten as a group separately from the rest of camp.
The backpacking trip is the highlight of this program. You DO NOT need to shop for a backpack for this Quest (though you do for all other Quests). Camp Tawonga will provide backpacks and all group gear for the trip. You need to supply 2 quart-size water bottles (please no small disposable bottles) and a warm sleeping bag (rated for 0 or 15 degrees is best). The hike will be between 4-6 miles each way and the middle day will include a day hike without the backpacks. There are no bathrooms or pre-built shelters on the trip, but our well-trained staff are prepared to make this a fun and safe experience for the whole gang!
A full day on the Challenge Course, fun Jewish activities, and swimming in the river all make this a great introduction to our teen travel adventure Quests!
Tell your family and friends about the great adventure you & your new friends had. Tell 'em "I want to go back next year!"
