Outdoor Odyssey challenges youth, ages 8+, and their high school or college-age mentor to put
dreams into action. Teams consisting of a mentor and two children experience a high adventure
week of summer camp activities including rock climbing, caving, mountain biking, backpacking and
much more.
While sharing the bonding experience that comes with outdoor adventure, mentors help children
understand that they can overcome the obstacles they face in their daily lives. Children begin
to unlock their potential and achieve personal milestones by hiking farther or climbing higher
than they ever thought possible.
Following the week of summer camp, mentors keep the high-energy bond going by regularly spending
time with their children during the school year. Weekend outings and on-camp refreshers are
scheduled to help teams maintain their connection with the help of the Outdoor Odyssey staff,
who also track progress of both the individual children and the team.
