ADVENTURE TRAVEL CAMP INFORMATION

The FSU Reservation, a 73-acre waterfront facility bordering beautiful Lake Bradford, serves as homebase for the Travel Camp. Campers will be exposed to a variety of outdoor activities in northern Florida during nine one-week sessions, operating Monday through Friday from 8:30 am until 4:00 pm. Due to the challenging nature of this outdoor program, the camp is open only to youths ages 13-16. Each session is limited to 9 participants. Campers may sign up for as many sessions as desired.

Activities
Possible travel camp activities may include low & high ropes challenge courses, canoeing, snorkeling, day hiking, mountain boarding, orienteering, coastal kayaking, and sailing.

Potential Trip Destinations
Florida Caverns, Chipola River, St. Mark's Trail, Wacissa River, Torreya State Park, Ochlocknonee River, Wakulla Springs, St. Mark's Reserve, St. George Island and various other Big Bend destinations.

Camper Requirements
For the safety of the campers throughout this challenging week, each camper will be required to swim 50 meters and tread water for 2 minutes. Use of the camper's own equipment for outdoor adventures is allowed but not required.

Staff
The Travel Camp is operated by staff members of FSU's Campus Recreation department. All personnel are trained in CPR, First Aid, and emergency procedures. Each staff member has completed an intensive 40-hour camp inservice and have passed a background check. Certified lifeguards and other support staff supervise all waterfront activities.
