There’s a lot that happens at La Vida. 🌲

Kids and students step into new experiences, build confidence, and spend time outside in a place where challenge feels exciting instead of intimidating.
For families, that means more than just a fun summer program.
It means seeing their kids come home with new stories, new friendships, and more courage than they came in with.

At Adventure Camp, kids spend their days climbing, paddling, biking, swimming, playing, and trying new things.
But one of the things families often appreciate most is how campers are grouped. 🧗

Campers are placed in small cohorts of 8–12 and stay with the same group and leaders all week. That gives them the chance to build friendships, feel supported, and grow in confidence as the week goes on.

Summer is coming up fast.

Confidence starts when you step outside your comfort zone.

At La Vida, the high ropes course is more than just an activity. It’s a moment where groups are challenged to try something new, face uncertainty, and rely on the people around them in a new way. 🌲

A behind-the-scenes look at La Vida Adventure camp for ages 8-15 at Gordon College in Wenham, MA.

At Adventure Camp we offer activities like rock climbing, canoeing, team building, a high ropes course, and many more! Every day is an opportunity for our adventure campers to step outside their comfort zone and discover what they’re capable of. 🏔️
It’s not always about doing everything perfectly, it’s about trying, learning, and growing along the way.

Team-building doesn’t just happen by accident.

At La Vida Challenge Course Experiences, it happens through shared challenges, real decisions, and moments that push people just past what they thought they could do. 🧗

Because it’s not about forcing outcomes. It’s about creating an environment where leadership, confidence, and trust take shape naturally.

If you’re a teacher looking for a spring field trip, or team lead looking for the perfect team building activity, we’re now booking spring and summer groups.

One of the people helping make our life-changing Adirondack experiences possible is Rosie Marshall, who helps plan, lead, and facilitate La Vida’s Adirondack programs. 🌲
From the challenge course to the hiking trail, Rosie brings energy, creativity, and a deep passion for transformational outdoor ministry. She helps create experiences where participants discover who they are and what their strengths are. Most days, you’ll find her at Base Camp with Coop nearby.
