Curriculum
The curriculum for the Pythian Youth Camp is designed to dramatically expand outdoor learning, education and wilderness opportunities for economically disadvantaged youth who would otherwise not have access to the outdoors. Our program:
- provides fun-filled non-competitive outdoor activities that build and nurture friendships;
- offers age-appropriate challenges so that campers can gain a “can-do” attitude and increase confidence levels;
- promotes physical health by encouraging an active lifestyle and increasing awareness of healthier choices, including physical activity and eating habits;
- provides proper instructions in aquatics and other outdoor activities;
- promotes ethnic and cultural diversity;
- encourages academic and social fitness, and financialsuccess.
Our trained counselors, under the supervision of a professional camp manager, leds activities such as:
Buck Rock Lookout
Sequoia National Forest
