Pathfinders 2023


For Campers Entering Grades 6th-8th
KSS Campus

Specifically designed for Middle School aged campers, Keystone Science School is offering an adventure-focused day option. Campers will travel around Summit County and surrounding areas to enjoy outdoor recreational opportunities. Each week will follow an adventure theme. Campers in Pathfinder sessions will gain valuable leadership skills. Each session will include team-building and leadership activities that will encourage collaboration, responsibility, and problem-solving; including a Service Learning Project, to be active stewards of our environment and community.

Thanks for a great summer! Summer Camp 2024 registration will open on January 10th, 2024.
