Explore the Pathfinder experience ...

Boys attend Pathfinder from the U.S., Canada, Europe and South America.

Since 1914, Pathfinder has provided a renowned canoe tripping program, and a rich in-camp program of paddling, earth lore, swimming, athletics, arts, and ropes-challenge. Traditions are many at Pathfinder, including everything from games to awards to events celebrating our long history of fellowship. Pathfinder puts the emphasis on friendships and community, on simple-living in a low-technology setting and a personal connection to the natural world.

At Pathfinder, an expert, highly trained staff of 70 counselors and guides provide the crucial 1:2 ratio that ensures individual attention for every boy. Owners Glenn & Heidi Arthurs and Mike & Leslie Sladden steward Camp's leadership tradition.

Traditional Pathfinder sessions are 2 weeks,  3 1/2 weeks or 7 weeks during July and August. For new boys, ages 7 - 8, there is a special one-week "Mic Mac" program offered twice each summer. For boys 9-12 there are special first-timers programs with sessions of two weeks. Dates and Rates ...
