What is Family Adventure Camp?

AMC Family adventure camps. Photo: AMC FilesWe offer family fun with a purpose. You'll enjoy a full program of activities including hikes, paddling, fly-fishing, hands-on nature studies, and evening programs. We'll explore some of the most beautiful mountains and lakes in the Northeast, while learning about outdoor safety, ecology, and stewardship of our wild areas. This year, we're offering hut overnights, camping skills, teen camping overnight, and river rafting.

Best of all, we take care of the planning, which means you can spend more time having fun with your family, making new friends, and enjoying new adventures. Our family camp programs are all-inclusive. We offer hearty meals, including a complete dinner with fresh-baked bread, soup, salad, entree and dessert. We also arrange for guided activities and equipment for paddling or climbing. Learn more >>
