Pathfinders is for young people who are ready to be trusted. Over five demanding and rewarding days, participants step into real responsibility—planning expeditions, navigating terrain, building systems, and supporting the group through challenge. They are encouraged to think ahead, assess risk, make decisions, and experience the consequences of those choices in a safe, well-held environment.

Leadership here is practical: young people learn how to lead themselves before leading others—how to stay grounded under pressure, communicate clearly, and take responsibility for the impact they have on people and place. Alongside adventure and skill-building, there is space to reflect, ask hard questions, and explore what kind of leader they want to become and also for quiet moments—listening to the forest, noticing small creatures, and feeling the satisfaction of doing something they once thought they couldn’t.

Parent FAQs

Does my child need prior experience?
No. We build confidence from Day 1 with supportive coaching and clear steps.

Does my child need to speak English?
We require children to have a basic level of spoken English so they can understand instructions and communicate clearly with staff and other campers.

Does my child need to attend the overnight camp?
We will start preparing the camp mid-afternoon so that children can begin their camping experience early. We start winding down with a movie early evening. This is a natural point for us to start to check in with the children to find out if there is any anxiety around overnight camping. If any child is feeling uncomfortable we will inform the parents/guardians and they will have the opportunity to collect them early and return the next day.

How challenging are activities?
We use a “challenge by choice” approach with safe, age‑appropriate elements and close supervision.

What about weather?
We have shade, hydration, and indoor/covered modules ready. Safety and learning come first.

Can friends be grouped together?
Yes—let us know during registration and we’ll do our best.
