Wyonegonic has an extensive out of camp tripping program in which all campers have an opportunity to participate. Each camper prepares for these trips by spending an overnight at one of our wilderness campsites on Moose Pond with their cabin-group. They use this experience to practice their outdoor living skills by canoeing across the lake, sleeping in a tent, and cooking their meals over a fire.
At the beginning of each session, we offer many hiking and canoeing day trips where the campers prepare for longer trips. The trips are planned with a varying degree of difficulty so that each camper can choose their challenge. We offer hiking trips throughout the White Mountains of New Hampshire and southern Maine. The canoe trips are a combination of lake and river canoeing.
As the summer progresses, campers have the opportunity to go on longer trips. These trips range from overnight to week long opportunities. Here are some examples of trips we offer:
