Is the Riverbend Trailblazer Program the right fit for your camper?

The Riverbend Trailblazer Program is designed for campers who are curious about nature and eager to explore the outdoors. This program is perfect for kids who enjoy hands-on activities and are ready to engage in various nature-themed projects. While no prior outdoor experience is necessary, campers should be enthusiastic about learning and participating in group activities.

Throughout their week at Riverbend, Trailblazers will work together to explore the natural world, develop problem-solving skills, and enjoy collaborative experiences. Each week will include an exciting field trip that allows campers to connect with their surroundings in a fun and meaningful way. This program welcomes campers of all personalities and experience levels who are looking to build friendships and share in the joy of outdoor exploration.
