Why Bold Earth

Explore the World this Summer!

Summer is a time of discovery and freedom. New people, activities and places make a summer with Bold Earth Teen Adventures an adventure you will NEVER forget.

Bold Earth is camp specifically for teenagers. On Bold Earth Teen Adventures teenagers take the next step into maturity. We teach life and character skills. We at Bold Earth are unapologetic Camp Geeks - - - we love adventure travel camp! A summer spent away from home in very concrete and significant ways will complement great parenting. Success and failure are important to experience. On Bold Earth Teen Adventures, teenagers take on challenges which are fun and hard. Bold Earth gives our students the opportunity to explore new environments with new friends, without parents, teachers or coaches. The job and responsibility of Bold Earth is to supply the appropriate amount of support and adventure for a successful outcome.

On Bold Earth we are technology free but students will NEVER feel more connected. The best of human experiences begin with relationships. How do teenagers get better at relationships? They practice. Modern life is often isolated, one person, one screen or going through the routine of school. On Bold Earth the relationship skills which are critical to success in life are practiced every day.

Most teens love Bold Earth because every day they socialize, they speak to others, collaborate, show their work ethic, do critical thinking, show leadership and help their peers . . . so the result of their teamwork is we can eat the food we prepared together.

Zest, Grit, Self Control, Optimism, Gratitude, Social Intelligence, Curiosity ... that is Bold Earth! Bold Earth teaches teens to be confident, independent and resilient!!!

The Bold Earth team extends its thanks to the 13,000+ alumni families for the privilege you've given us to share the magic of camp with you. The goal of our entire team is for Bold Earth to be in your very highest rank of trusted summer camps!
