Connect with your kids in a new way with vacations especially for families.
A family adventure vacation offers an opportunity for parents and kids to relate to each other in new ways. Whether you choose an organized program led by expert professionals and volunteers or you decide to plan your own trip, taking part in fun outdoor activities is a great way for the whole family to relax.
Check out AMC's family adventure camps and let us do the planning.
The Appalachian Mountain Club gives families the opportunity to spend quality time with each other while leaving the responsibility for lodging, food, and fun to the program leaders. Our all-inclusive camps offer hiking, biking, swimming, fishing, and many other activities along with three delicious meals a day and the opportunity to make new friends. Whatever program you choose, your family adventure vacation will also include outdoor education activities ranging from instruction in outdoor skills to primers on native plant and animal identification and the importance of land and water conservation.
From the Highland Lodge located in Crawford Notch in New Hampshire's White Mountains to the rustic Cold River Camp in North Chatham, New Hampshire; from Three Mile Island Camp on Lake Winnipesaukee to Echo Lake Camp in Acadia National Park in Mount Desert Island, Maine, the AMC offers a wide range of natural settings and unique recreational experiences.
