Olympic Youth Backpacking Camps
At Lasting Adventures, we’ve spent more than two decades developing the most empowering youth and teen summer camp experience in Yosemite, California. We are proud to be taking that model and standard of quality to new environments this summer, offering 6-day adventure summer camps for Young Adventurers ages 11 to 13 and High Country Adventurers ages 13 to 18 in Washington’s Olympic National Park!
The Olympic Summer Camp Experience
Whether marveling at a shooting star, topping out an alpine crest, laughing with new friends around a campfire—the ultimate goal of our Olympic National Park summer camps is to share unforgettable moments in nature that inspire lifelong passions in youth and teens. Participants in both our Young Adventurer’s Youth Summer Camp or our Olympic High Country Adventure will find themselves among some of the most stunning natural scenery America has to offer: iconic trails overlooking the rugged Pacific Ocean, surreal woodlands draped in lime-colored moss, and waterfalls gushing crystal clear snowmelt are just the shortlist—spectacular wilderness abounds all across the Olympic range. Olympic, Washington summer camps delve into the depths of the backcountry with insight and guidance from our experienced leaders, all of whom possess intimate knowledge of the surrounding environment. On most trips, we backpack every day but one (a layover day, location is usually agreed upon by the team), and we are on the trail for an average of four to six hours per day. Throughout the experience we take our time to enjoy the views and break at some pretty awesome watering holes. We come away with an enlightened understanding of the natural environment, an appreciation for ourselves, connections with new friends, and a passion for the outdoors to last a lifetime.
