If you think you have what it takes to be a survivor then show us your gray matter.

F.L.O.W. – Future Leaders of the Outdoor World (for girls entering grades 6-12)
You are our only hope for the future. So come to camp and show us what you’re working with. As the leaders of the new world, start by helping guide what happens at camp.

You can design your own extreme summer getaway – anything from rock climbing, zip lining, pontoon boating, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding, to archery and so much more. If you can dream it, we will try to make it happen!
