The camp is backed by the Avid4 Adventure Guarantee, which promises an authentic outdoor adventure, incredibly well-trained and professional staff, increased confidence for campers, and a customer experience that exceeds parents’ expectations, and states that if these promises are not met, the next Avid4 Adventure camp is free.

Parent testimonials describe this as a favorite camp where one child learned to ride a bike without training wheels and discovered new favorite activities such as stand up paddleboarding, kayaking, and biking. Other testimonials describe mature, responsible staff who are excited to share their passion with children, a well-run program where kids learn new outdoor skills, and children who talk about camp long after it ends and look forward to returning.
