SOAR Trek, for ages 14 to 21

Initially launched in 2014 the SOAR Trek program offers high adventure-level experiences for older Boy Scouts and Venture Scouts who want to push themselves to the limits of their abilities. Troops, Crews, or individual scouts may register for a SOAR Trek individually or in addition to a Boy Scout Resident Camp week. Each trek includes training, a service project, and an overnight out-of-camp outing.

The SOAR Trek program is not scheduled for the 2017 Summer Camp Season.

Seven Mountains combines its cheerful staff, modern facilities, and renowned location to create a one-of-a-kind summer camp experience for Boy Scouts and Venturers. Paddle an off-property float trip down a local river or race the friends you meet around our completely on-property five mile single track bike trail.
