Beads

Campers earn beads for everything they do at camp, this way campers leave with a necklace full of achievements and memories.

Campfire

Our campfires are all about coming together with songs, skits, and s’mores to get campers excited and comfortable on their first night of camp.

Earth Trek

Earth Treks are all about exploring the natural world around us and diving into the curriculum through fun experiments and activities.

Challenge Hike

Campers will push themselves outside of their comfort zones on difficult hikes in beautiful locations.

Candle Chat

We close every day at camp around the flame of a candle where we reflect on our days and form a safe community to have powerful conversations.

Talent Shows

Each session campers have the opportunity to show their skills in our end of the week talent show.

Snake River Village (SRV) - Rustic Canvas Tents

If sleeping under the stars and falling asleep to the calming sounds of the Snake River sounds like summer camp to you, then look no further than Snake River Village. In Snake River Village campers sleep in canvas wall tents, each with 5 beds, adjacent to the beautiful Snake River. Our tents are on raised wooden platforms and each camper gets a cot and room to store their belongings. The tents are a short walk from the bathrooms, showers, and dining hall. They even have their very own campfire pit!

Log-Style Dormitories

Discovery campers have the option of staying in our log cabin-style dormitories, featuring bunk beds, restrooms with showers, and community space. There are two different dormitories both of which are centrally located on our campus. There are two campers per room, and counselors stay in a room off of the community space.

Our Staff

All Discovery Camp staff go through two weeks of comprehensive training, have been background checked, hold a Wilderness First Aid/CPR/AED certification at minimum, and have gone through extensive risk management training.
