Trips are one of the most exciting and memorable parts of the summer at Indian Brook. Trips range in length and location and offer a variety of team building adventures in the outdoors. Every half season and two-week camper will have the opportunity to go on one trip, and every full season camper will have the opportunity to go on two. We will teach all the skills needed for campers to enjoy their trips.
First lodgers (9- and110 year olds) will go on trips in cabin groups and do not need to submit trip preferences. These trips will be combined hiking and canoeing trips lasting 3 days and 2 nights. Our Ninevah trip will set off from Saltash Mountain camp, canoe around Lake Ninevah, and then hike in the region near Tiny Mountain. Our Ridge trip will hike on the ridge behind Indian Brook and then canoe back across Woodward Reservoir to camp.
Big lodgers (11 and 12 year olds) have options to hike in the Green Mountains, canoe on a lake on the border of New Hampshire and Maine, rock climb in central Vermont, do trail maintenance, or go on a wilderness skills trip.
Senior lodgers (13 and 14 year olds) have options to hike in the Green Mountains of Vermont or on the Appalachian Trail in Maine, canoe on a river that passes from Maine into New Hampshire, rock climb in the Adirondacks, go on a farm service trip, or do trail maintenance.
