What do we do at camp?
Living and learning in a camp setting, students are taught real world skills in whitewater canoeing, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing and rappelling, wilderness living and more! Intermixed with these adventure activities are classroom sessions, and amazing opportunities for both personal and group development. Students in their second year and beyond begin to develop management skills as they assist lead instructors in activities around camp. A week or longer at camp gives students an unforgettable experience bringing many life-long skills and certifications.
MAS is for everyone.
Make high school credits fun, learn outdoor activities, pursue a career in the outdoor community, or simply enjoy a wilderness adventure with friends – whatever your goal, MAS is a great place to start living, learning and loving the outdoors!
