Whether it's exploring the high peaks, paddling on whitewater, surfing Hawaii's beaches or learning to rock climb, there is something at Takodah for everyone. Rooted in wilderness travel, Takodah's Adventure Camp program has grown to encompass cultural adventures as well. While Camp Takodah serves as our home base at the beginning and end of each program, we travel and tent camp throughout the Northeast and now throughout the country!
Our programs provide a blend of adventure travel, teamwork, environmental awareness, outdoor skill development, and personal growth opportunities. With the motivation to try new things and be a part of a team, any camper can succeed in our programs.
Campers have the opportunity to explore, discover and grow through our adventures, year after year. Campers may register for any age appropriate program.
