A wilderness leadership experience incorporating the low ropes course, teams course, high ropes course and the 50-foot Alpine Tower. Participants determine their own degree of challenge on the courses, by using our challenge by choice philosophy. You do not have to be a member of a YMCA or a past Lakewood Camper. Focus is on ring work and ground school. Campers ride on an overnight trip through the camp's backwoods trails.
Campers stay in the main camp cabins and participate in some all-camp activities.
This is a popular camp with limited space available. Participants develop sound riding skills and learn proper care of a horse and tack. All campers will stay in Lakewood's rustic East Camp facilities and join other campers in some traditional Camp Lakewood activities. Instructional clinics last two hours per day for four days. Enrollment is limited.
