TREK and JUNIOR TREK are designed for campers wishing to pack maximum adventure into their summer vacation.

TREK
Open to teens about to enter 8th through 12th grades, TREK is a two-week high-adventure program that fosters campers’ leadership, self sufficiency and group-living skills. TREKKERs plan their own menus, take responsibility for navigation and supplies on all off-site trips (including backpacking in the beautiful Trinity Alps, rafting on the Trinity River and exploring the caves at Lava Beds National Monument) and hone valuable peer-leadership skills.

While TREK’s primary focus is to expose campers to rich experiences away from camp, the group returns to Coppercreek on Friday nights for the all-camp party! TREKKERs don’t spend much of their time in the Traditional Camp program, but they’re still a part of Coppercreek and function under the same philosophy and purpose as summer camp programs.

Junior TREK

J- TREKKERs embark on myriad day and overnight adventures: exploring lava tube caves and waterfalls, backpacking through local wilderness areas, overnight kayaking adventures on the Feather River and climbing excursions at Homer Lake. In between these short trips, J-TREKKERS can still enjoy taking part in the camp activities at Coppercreek.

J- TREK staffers are specially trained to focus on the dynamics of this particular age group. They work with J- TREK participants to develop effective communication skills, build self discipline and dissolve the cliques that can be so destructive at this age.

Our leadership programs are designed to foster teens’ personal growth, encourage them to build relationships and enjoy meaningful experiences that will enhance their college applications, career aspirations and lives.
