High adventure camping takes you to adventure bases run by the Boy Scouts of America. On wilderness treks of a week or longer, you can push yourself toward a mountaintop, wrestle a canoe through rapids, sail a ship on the open sea try scuba diving, and experience many other exciting adventures.
NATIONAL HIGH-ADVENTURE BASES - For real excitement beyond your council, it's hard to beat the National High-Adventure bases of the Boy Scouts of America. Designed for the older Boy Scouts and Explorers, each base offers the training, equipment, and support you need to set out on wilderness treks that challenge your skills, strength, and willpower.
PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH - Explore the rugged high country of northern New Mexico on a backpacking trek, as a member of a conservation crew, or on an advanced wilderness adventure. Covering more than 137,000 acres of mountains, forests, prairies, and streams, Philmont is an inspiring backpackers paradise. Staffed camps in the backcountry offer program opportunities including rock climbing, blackpowder rifle shooting, living history, horseback riding, archaeology, conservation, and many others.
FLORIDA NATIONAL HIGH ADVENTURE SEA BASE - During voyages aboard watercraft and sailboats, you can explore the clear waters of the Florida Keys and Bahamas. Snorkel and scuba dive amid pillars of coral surrounded by brilliantly colored tropical fish. Explore a primitive island, search for the wreckage of old ships, cast your bait for sailfish in the Gulf Stream waters, practice windsurfing, and study the marine life of North America's only living coral reef.
NORTHERN TIER NATIONAL HIGH ADVENTURE PROGRAMS - The Sioux and Chippewa once traveled this northern lake country. French-Canadian trappers followed, their canoes heavily laden with furs. Headquartered in the beautiful Lake Superior-Quetico Provincial Park boundary waters of the Minnesota and Ontario, and in northern Wisconsin, the Northern Tier offers wilderness canoeing expeditions and programs featuring sailing, fishing, and winter camping.
