Amherst Leisure Services will once again partner with Adventure In Adventure Out to offer this very popular program.

Activities include Rock climbing, Caving, Kayaking, Canoeing, Hiking, GPS - geocashing, Fire Through Friction, Raft Building, Camouflage, Capture the Flag, Archery, Tree Climbing and other activities. Campers will explore many environments and learn new skills during each of the six different one-week sessions. There will be a balanced blend of activities with new challenges at different outdoor locations throughout Western Massachusetts. Outdoor Challenge places a strong emphasis on "the journey" - campers will have opportunities for self-discovery, and will learn about self-respect, teamwork, community, and trust. Hands-on learning and reflection are important components of this program. The camp includes swimming, rock climbing, caving, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, GPS, and other activities.
