Welcome to six days of summer that you’ll never forget! Because after all, hanging out around the local pool can’t compete with top mountain hike views or careening down a churning whitewater river.
 
For starters, you’ll live in a tent the entire time. Part of your week will be spent participating in exciting adventures at YMCA Camp Hanes. The other part will take place offsite, where new challenges await!
 
And, of course, all activities will be supervised by our trained and certified staff.
 
So check out this amazing adventure, make your choice, and then look forward to sharing your amazing story once you’re back home by the pool.

Rafting/Caving Adventure (ages 13-15) 

Pack it up, everybody! From Monday through Wednesday evening, you’ll be offsite in Tennessee to raft down the New River through Adventures on the Gorge and explore the underground caves with Lost World Caverns all before returning to camp to still join in on some of the best traditional overnight activities. No prior experience or equipment is necessary.

ADV Session 6: July 12 -17 (aligns with traditional overnight session 6) July 12-17
