Extreme Camp Held
Darke County Parks
During the week of June 20-24, campers at Darke County Parks got
extreme! Campers began the week getting to know each other
quickly by having to work together at a challenge course at Camp
Yale. After the challenge course they encouraged each other as
each camper climbed to the top of a fifty foot tower and then hopped on
a zip-line and sailed to the bottom. The second day, they were
broken into teams and battled at a paintball course. The whole
group then headed up to Lake Loramie where they paddled through high
winds. Everyone did an amazing job and took some time to rest by
swimming at the beach. To finish up the week, campers headed to
John Bryan State Park where they set up camp and set out on the
trails. After a long afternoon of hiking, the campers enjoyed a
delicious campfire meal. Then, it was back to the trails to check
out scenic Clifton Gorge. After an exhausting day, everyone was
ready for their s’mores and retired to their tent. Overall, these
teens thoroughly enjoyed their week at Darke County Parks Extreme
Adventures Camp. Call the Nature Center at 937.548.0165 for more
