Campers typically start their introduction to nature with a 'Bounders' activity. In 'Bounders' campers learn through close supervision, safety in the wilderness, proper handling of fire, low impact camping, conservation techniques and an appreciation and knowledge of nature. Campers are then screened by the trip department staff as to their hiking ability and are challenged within their skill levels with a chance to advance to higher challenges. (i.e., O=beginner, =Expert). Nashoba is fortunate to have highly competent trip instructors on staff. We work in conjunction with the State of Maine trip leader certification and the NH White Mountain National Forest requirements. Each week campers may choose the trips they wish to participate in; no trips are mandatory at camp. Many campers strive to become of member of the '4,000 Footer Club'. All trips are included in the tuition with the exception of ocean sailing and white water rafting. Most day and overnight trips stay within a two hour proximity to camp. However, we do have extraordinary trips to Baxter State Park's Mount Katahdin, the highest elevation in the state and to locations off the coast of Maine. For rock climbing enthusiasts, Nashoba has a new 35 foot climbing wall with six varying sides of difficulty. At Nashoba you will learn all the necessary safety techniq
