11-13 Year-old Program
The 11-13 year-old program is an exciting and full week of team-building and adventure activities at Gordon College. Campers learn important character lessons while being active and having fun at the day camp program. The following are just a few of the comments parents have written in the past.
- "The La Vida program has been a positive energetic full-filled camp that all of my children have loved."
- "My son says it was "awesome" and you couldn't do anything better. Thanks for an enjoyable week that he'll remember for a long time. This experience really boosted my son's self-confidence. He loved the challenges and as a parent, I appreciate the safe environment."
- "She displays lessons learned throughout the school year, teachers have commented on positive attributes, and I'm sure La Vida has had a part in this!"
11-13 Year-old Program Activites
Mountain Biking
Mountain biking provides a wonderful chance to have adventures in the woods, splash through muddy puddles and observe nature on the several hundred acres of wooded trails adjacent to Gordon College's campus. Campers start with beginner trails and are guided by an experienced mountain bike specialist. Everyone is given the opportunity to try intermediate trails or to continue riding on beginner trails.
La Vida Adventure Camp
11-13 Year-Old Program Staff
Each camper is placed in a small group with trained counselors, and activity staff run the speciaized adventure activites. Staff are current and past Gordon College students along with other carefully selected, caring adults. Junior counselors are high school students that show maturity and a desire to invest in younger campers.
Adventure Camp's primary concern is seeing to each camper's phyical, emotional and social needs. We aim to keep our camper/staff ratio low at 5:1.
