Our Challenge Adventure Programs
Outdoor Education
It is one thing to learn about leadership in the classroom, but it is another to actually experience it outdoors! Tried-and-true programming facilitated by vibrant Camp Thurman staff makes for an unbeatable experience. Group sizes begin at 12 and can be as large as 100+.
Specialized Programming
Our programs are customized for each group and offer a variety of experiences to build stronger communities. Half-day, full-day, and off-site programs fit to your organization’s needs. Camp Thurman’s team-building programs are open from elementary school to career-field groups.
Challenge by Choice
While our programs are designed to encourage participants to leave their comfort zone, everything at Camp Thurman is challenge-by-choice. This means that those not comfortable with certain activities physically or emotionally may choose to provide encouragement and support to their fellow participants rather than participate physically.
