Jun 8 - Jun 13 Senior Extreme at Frank Pitch Pioneer Camp Senior EXTREME Camp is not your average summer camp — it's for teens who want real adventure. This back-to-basics experience puts you in tents, has you cooking your own meals, and keeps you moving all day long. You'll hit the trails on challenging hikes, take on the rush of whitewater rafting, and sharpen your focus and skills through Project Safe Shooting Sports. It's bold, intense, and all about pushing yourself, building confidence, and having stories worth telling when summer's over. **To attend, your child must be in the 9th to 12th grade for the current 2025-2026 school year.
