The Experience of a Lifetime!
Wednesday, June 27 to Monday, July 16, 2012

Experience your best self…….as a leader.

2011 “graduates “of Camp Lanakila, this great adventure is designed just for you! We’ll begin by exploring some of the most remote and beautiful backcountry in northern New England on foot; move on to canoeing rapids and kayaking along the Maine coast, and finish up rock climbing in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. All the while, you’ll draw on the personal skills and strengths you developed at Lanakila, in the company a few good men and fellow Vikings.  For campers in Lanakila’s Lakeside Unit during the summer of 2011.

This leadership development course explores the remote backcountry of northern New England through white-water canoeing, sea kayaking, and rock climbing. The course is expedition-based: you will be “out and away” in the wilderness for the duration of the experience, except for spending 4th of July at Lanakila. Instructors are experienced in backcountry guiding and wilderness first aid.  You'll sleep in tents, cook your own meals, work hard, and have fun!

”What I love about the Lakeside Adventure Expedition is that it builds on what campers learned at Lanakila, but it really pushes the whole process further.  More challenges, longer adventures, and a fuller commitment to focusing on leadership.  And, you’re doing it with people you already know, like and trust, so there is a big willingness to take risks and try new things.” - Barnes Boffey

What do parents say about the Lakeside Adventure?

"It was great that all the boys knew each other from camp, and I think it provided a great platform to launch such an expedition. The boys have already come away from Lanakila with shared experiences from camp. I think this provides a great platform to further teach team building and to provide yet another positive way for them to discover who they are and who they want to become!"

"I liked that he came home and said that he had met personal goals that he had set out for himself (for example, reaching the top of a mountain while rock climbing). He came back renewed and refreshed after a challenging academic year in high school. I also loved the way seven boys can be put together and find common ground to live together harmoniously for three weeks!"

What do young men say about the Lakeside Adventure?

“We worked together in every aspect. We cooked, paddled,  and climbed together making it a great experience.”

“I think this was one of the BEST three weeks of my life”

“The trip was really awesome because of the activities, leaders, people and the locations we went to.”
