These EXCITING TRIPS are designed for older campers who have experienced our “in-camp” program (with the exception of the boys who may travel with us on our co-ed trips), who are looking for additional adventure in travel. Girls are invited to participate in these extended trips by the camp directors. Each trip carries its own flavor of adventure, action, leadership, challenge, community service and self discovery. ALC’s overall philosophy is carried with each trip in the form of citizenship, environmental ethics, respect for cultural diversity, and the constant attention to the sensitivity to others.
