Avid Adventure

Avid Adventure instills in kids a life-long love for outdoor physical activity and respect for nature. They have summer programs in Portland for every age group, from day camps for pre-kindergarten to expeditions for older teens.

The pre-K day camps teach children basic skills like biking and paddling a boat. Once they're in first grade, they're ready for the two-week-long Explorer Day Camp. Here they can go hiking, paddle boarding kayaking, and further develop outdoor skills.

The expedition summer programs bring teens on camping adventures in the great Colorado outdoors. They set up tents and cook their own food while playing outdoor sports. You can also sign campers up for specific expeditions for rock climbing, mountain biking, kayaking, and more.

They also offer overnight camps on Mt. Evans for students in grades 2nd to 5th and Windy Peak for students in grades 6th to 11th. The kids get to live in cabins and enjoy two thrilling days of hiking (bring the right shoes), rock climbing, water sports, and much more.

They offer an adventure camp in several other states like Colorado and California.
