Passages Summer Camps
Passages one-week day camp sessions
include kayaking, rock climbing, rappelling, our 350’ zip-line
and our famous 5-mile kayaking trip – a rite of passage. This
week is packed with fun and adventure. We provide all drinks,
snacks, lunches, gear and a 4:1 camper to counselor ratio.
Campers need only bring a water bottle and a good attitude.
We’ve been known to work with less!
Passages day camp sessions are held
on beautiful Belle Isle in downtown Richmond. Just minutes from
the city’s skyscrapers, our campers learn how to kayak on the
James River and rock climb on the 20-35 foot cliffs of Belle
Isle. A week of Passages helps your child build leadership
skills, confidence, and self-esteem in a fun and challenging
environment.
Our Rock and River Master Program is
a part of every week at Passages and designed to teach campers
fundamental through advanced skills in kayaking, rock climbing
and rappelling. New campers begin at Level I while returning
campers continue to work towards Levels II, III, IV and V. Out
goal is for each camper to gain confidence through mastering
these skills at his or her own pace while having fun. Campers
earn patches by progressing from Level to Level. Out Level V
campers are rewarded with a job application.
Our Staff
Our staff of 100 site directors, counselors, guides, jr.
counselors and counselors-in-training completes a rigorous 5-day
training in addition to certification in CPR and First Aid.
Annually, more than 90% of our staff returns from the previous
year. They are an incredible group of young men and women with
demonstrated passions for kayaking, climbing and kids.
Safety
We are proud of our exceptional safety record since the
beginning of Passages in 1993. We consider it an honor and a
privilege to work with your child. Your child’s well-being is
our number one priority.
