| Northwoods Adventure is committed to providing a safe, high quality outdoor program that emphasises learning through participation. The acronym LETSC (let's see), is used to motivate and inspire campers to achieve success. Leadership, Effort, Teamwork, Stepping Up, and Courage Each year, returning campers are given higher levels of responsibility within the camp structure. As confidence builds, and leadership and communication skills improve, campers are promoted to positions such as: Team Leaders, Crew Leaders, Cabin Leaders, and Junior Counselors A positive 3:1 camper to counselor ratio provides plenty of support for all campers. In addition, limiting camp sessions to 40 campers enables campers to build and strengthen friendships with all campers through a full schedule of daily activities, team challenges, and games. |

The educational focus of daily journal entries is on writing and reflecting on the daily events and activities throughout the duration of the camp. Campers are given daily tasks and ideas to write about in addition to using their journals for taking notes and reminders regarding the structure of the camp and the full schedule of daily activities and team assignments. |
