The adventure program offers rock climbing, bouldering and rappelling with challenges for both beginning and advanced climbers.

Session Details
Resident Camp (age 9-16)
You don’t have to go far or spend a lot of time looking for adventure this summer. Each week-long Resident Camp session features a two-night backpacking adventure and tons of action-packed activities. We foster personal growth through challenging and exhilarating activities. Campers will learn respect for others, respect for nature and respect for themselves.
Rookies Camp (age 6-10)
Rookie Camp is a four-day, three-night mini-session designed for first time campers as an introduction to the camp and preparation for a full length Camp Jack Hazard session. Campers will try all of the activities available to Resident Campers, including: games, campfires, camp programs and an on-site overnight where they’ll have the opportunity to sleep under the stars without leaving CJH grounds. A low camper to staff ratio ensures that each camper receives the personal attention they deserve to create a fun and memorable first camp experience.
Leaders in Training (age 15-17)
Leaders in Training (LIT) will enjoy two weeks at camp preparing for the challenges of future leadership positions. During their first week, LIT’s will develop their communication, teamwork, counseling and wilderness survival skills. Participants help lead a cabin during the following week. Youth interested in the LIT Program must submit an application.

“Both my boys attended for their first time. They did not go together so I was worried but after each one of them came home and told me their experiences, I was very impressed. I will definitely send them again and have already invited family and friends to go next year. Everyone was so great and friendly that my kids came back talking about the staff as if they had known them for years. Thank you all so much.”
