Re: Outdoorsy camp for athletic 13-year-old
Another program that might appeal to your son is Adventure Treks. They offer outdoor adventures for teens, with an emphasis on community and outdoor skills. The kids backpack, river raft, climb mountains and do all kinds of cool stuff for 2-3 weeks. It's expensive, but it's exceptionally well-run, and the kids have a real sense of accomplishment at the end. Mom of Boys

Re: Wilderness program for unmotivated video-gamer son
My son loved Adventure Treks....look them up on their website. They combined wonderful, challenging experiences with great leadership building since the teens have to set up camp each night, cook and clean. He did the trip where they go to Oregon and Washington and backpack, climb mountains, kayak, etc. anon
