Outdoor Adventure Camps

Lakefield College School’s outdoor adventure camps offer students ages 11-14 to explore our 315-acre rural, waterfront campuses at one of the best times of the year. They will enjoy a range of outdoor activities, from camping and canoeing, to hiking, climbing our ropes course and more, depending on which session is attended.
