Welcome Sequanota Story Summer Camp Staff |
Junior High Wilderness Skills School’s out, adventure time is in! We invite junior high campers who like a little adventure challenge during their week at camp. Rock-climbing, outdoor cooking, camps-outs, zip-lining, challenge courses, late-night games and much more will be available to experience.
