The one and only, and longest running adventure racing camp in the United States,  will give aspiring first timers to experienced racers the skills and knowledge needed to participate and excel in adventure races.  The camp is also ideal for adventurers who may not be not interested in racing but in adventure travel and for those preparing for mountaineering, rock climbing, backpacking, or canoe trips.

The focus of the camp is on learning and practice in the adventure racing skills of fixed ropes (rappelling, ascending, Tyrolean traverses, zip lines), rock climbing, and navigation with map and compass.

Fixed ropes instruction will focus on safety, equipment, knots, and communication with plenty of hands on experience in the field with rappelling, ascending, and traversing on fixed ropes and rock climbing.  The rappels, ascents, and climbs are on cliffs over 100’ high and  traverses of over 300’ long.

Navigation instruction is presented in a classroom setting with an outstanding Power Point Presentation followed by an extensive field exercise in a small group setting at the Mississippi Palisades State Park in Savanna. 

PARENTS...The camp is a wonderful opportunity to get your children involved in adventure racing.  Last year alone there were more than 20 parents with their children learning, sharing, and competing side by side.  As always, children pay only 1/2 the registration price.
