2010 Summer Outdoor Adventure Kamp will offer the core activities that have challenged and rewarded kids year in and year out, as well as feature some brand-new activities like Multiple-tree Canopy Rope Courses, River Snorkeling & Rock-Hopping Adventures, Orienteering Treasure Hunts, and new Obstacle Courses and Workshops!”

Riverside Outfitters is thrilled to be partnering with Captain Mike Ostrander of the James River Fishing School to offer new shallow-water discovery activities for the campers. Your children will explore the James River through "Fish-Watching", with Capt. Mike Ostrander.  They’ll explore the river to see longnose gar, catfish, smallmouth bass and schools of shad and minnows from a raft and even venture into the water for a closer view using snorkeling gear.  They’ll track fish and other animal sightings using their take-home "James River Fish-Watch Checklist.”  You'll be amazed at all that can be seen when you really take the time to look!

We are also very excited to continue our exploration of the natural world by expanding our Wilderness Orienteering activities. Campers will learn the fundamentals of orienteering using compasses and manual navigation techniques all in the context of a treasure hunt and
team-based activities!

Located in the award winning James River Park System with drop-off and pick-up conveniently located at the Riverside Outfitters shop. In response to feedback, and based on our experiences over the past 4 summers, we have decided to group campers by age ranges and designate certain weeks as ½-day or full-day options for that given age range. Our age ranges are: 6-9 years old, 9-12 years old and 13-16 years old. Please link to “Camp Details” to see a full list of available dates by age range. Of course exceptions can be made when absolutely necessary.
Price: $155 (1/2 day), $325 (full day).
Our program is designed by the expert arborists at True Timber Tree Service. Our expert staff use equipment that is rated for at least 5,000 lbs. and our OSHA approved climbing systems all have redundant controls.
