Haw River Adventure Camps
HRA partners with Haw River Canoe and Kayak to offer adventure camps for 10-15 year old participants.
Adventure camps are designed to engage campers with the outdoors through different on-water and on-land activities. In addition to time spent paddling, campers hike different sections of trails along the Haw River throughout the week. Campers learn outdoor living skills such as orienteering, shelter-building, and tree and plant identification. Camp staff work on developing teamwork and confidence as campers participate through games and exercises on our challenge course.
HRA staff and volunteers offer 2 sessions where campers learn about the river ecosystem and watershed stewardship. Campers also conduct scientific exploration of the river through hands on water quality sampling as well as macroinverterbrate collection and identification.
