Car Camping New York

California August Camp

## California Adult Summer Camp Our West Coast summer home brings a unique personality that **redefines what it means to be cool**, and it does it without even trying. There is a sense of timelessness that lingers in the warm, dusty fresh air and it is here that we will give you a throwback to a better time. To the time when you played like a kid all day and partied like a grown-up at night and when you never felt the weight of the world on your shoulders. Here you might sweat in the California heat, but you won’t sweat the small things that beat you up back in the real world. This is the escape to happiness you need, where you can turn off the notifications and instead turn up the music then **dance like no-one is watching**. It is a heightened sense of adventure for the thrill-seekers. Come throw yourself into it and you will experience our classic **3 night, all-inclusive** adult summer camp event. Complete with dozens of camp activities, nightly socials, daily events, accommodation, beautiful meals, unlimited drinks and a team that brings it all to you in a kick ass fashion.

Outdoors Book Club: 438 Days

August’s selection is 438 Days by Jonathan Franklin. Location is still TBD but hoping to have this outdoors if weather permits Genre: Survival, Adventure, Nonfiction Pages: ~288 Goodreads: ★4.1/5 After setting out from the Pacific coast of Mexico on what was supposed to be a routine fishing trip, fisherman José Salvador Alvarenga and his young crewmate are swept far out to sea by a violent storm. With their engine dead, radio destroyed, and thousands of miles of open ocean surrounding them, rescue quickly becomes impossible. What follows is one of the most astonishing survival stories ever documented. Adrift for 438 days—more than a year—Alvarenga survives by catching fish with his bare hands, drinking rainwater, eating birds and turtles, and enduring relentless isolation, starvation, storms, and despair. The psychological battle proves every bit as daunting as the physical one as he struggles to maintain hope while drifting across the Pacific. Drawing on extensive interviews and investigative reporting, Jonathan Franklin reconstructs the ordeal in vivid detail while also exploring the controversy surrounding Alvarenga’s incredible claim and the science of extreme human endurance. *For all book club events, we ask that participants come with an open mind. Opinions shared reflect those of the individual, and we ask that all discussion remain respectful so we can exchange ideas freely and without judgment.

Banff Hut to Hut Glacier Backpacking and Hiking

Join us on a Banff Canada Hiking + Hut-to-Hut Backpacking Adventure for women only! During your 6-day trip, backpack hut-to-hut in the remote backcountry of Banff National Park. Enjoy day hikes through the towering mountains and glacier fed lakes of the Canadian Rockies. This is not the maple syrup harvest your aunt went to that one time. This is Wild Canada, sister! **GUIDED HIKING IN BANFF, CANADA NATIONAL PARKS** First, spend three days hiking in and exploring nearby national and provincial parks. The town of Banff is surrounded on all sides by them, boasting some of the most beautiful landscapes that Canada offers. Experience the iconic hiking trails in the surrounding parks, the atmosphere of the quaint mountain town, and the quiet backcountry bliss amongst flanneled femmes. Day-hike to turquoise glacier fed lakes, past waterfalls, along pointed mountain ridge lines, and through luscious green valleys. Snap an iconic photo by Moraine Lake to add to your Instagram feed. You’ll feel as if you’re in a fairy tale admiring the chateau from Lake Louise. Also enjoy exploring lesser known trails as our local guides share their favorites hikes. You could be hiking to glacier fed lakes in Banff National Park, past stunning waterfalls in Yoho National Park, up and over a mountain pass in Kananaskis Country and more. **EXPLORING DOWNTOWN BANFF** Each evening, we’ll return to our downtown Banff hotel, roll on some deodorant, and head out on the town to dine as a group. In your free time, soak your beautiful bones in one of the outdoor hot tubs or curl up cat-like beside the outdoor fireplace. Buzzed storytelling is encouraged. **CANADIAN ROCKIES HUT-TO-HUT GUIDED BACKPACKING AND GLACIER CROSSING** On the final three days of your adventure, we leave behind the hustle and noise of Banff and its tourists. Load up a 70L backpack with glacier crossing gear and all of the essentials for a hut-to-hut trek across the Wapta Icefields of the Canadian Rockies. The Icefields are rolling, gentle glaciers that you will trek up and over during the course of three days. Experience first hand a rapidly disappearing mountain landscape while immersing yourself in a truly remote and unique, backcountry environment. Your destination each evening is rustic, remote alpine huts high up in mountains. There aren’t many backcountry treks that you can get the alpine trifecta—glaciers, mountains, and cozy alpine huts! **ALL MAJOR BACKPACKING AND GLACIER CROSSING GEAR PROVIDED** * 70L backpack * sleeping bag * mountaineering boots * climbing harness * climbing helmet * crampons * ice axe * ropes **See the website for full itinerary, details and to book.** [https://explorerchick.com/adventures/banff-hut-to-hut-hiking-adventure/](https://explorerchick.com/adventures/banff-hut-to-hut-hiking-adventure/) **Say Hello 👋** **💻** Website: [https://explorerchick.com/](https://explorerchick.com/) 📧 Email: [hello@explorerchick.com](http://hello@explorerchick.com/) 📸 Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/](https://www.instagram.com/explorerchickadventureco/) ❤️ Facebook: [https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/](https://www.facebook.com/ExplorerChickAdventureCo/) 👯‍♀️ Facebook Group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick](https://www.facebook.com/groups/weareexplorerchick) 🎥 TikTok: [https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick](https://www.tiktok.com/@explorerchick)
