Taking Camp to a whole new Level!

Are you ready for your peak summer camp experience? Explorer village sits on the highest point on Camp Gray's property, and it is meant to deliver the highest experience a camper can have at Camp. It's a ton of fun and you get to really bond with the counselors and other Explorers.

If you have ever been a Pathfinder (which is not a requirement by any means) hopefully you felt bonded with your group, especially by the end of the week. Explorers who had been Pathfinders before have told us that that same "Thursday night feeling" of being connected to your group happens on Sunday night.

As an Explorer you'll get a chance to decide what you'll do do during the day - whether it's playing ultimate frisbee, doing low ropes course initiatives, just hanging out around the campfire, it is up to the group. If you're worried about living in the woods, don't be. It may be a new experience, but one that is definitely rewarding. Despite what you may have heard, you'll even get to shower during the week (if you want :) as well as go swimming in the pool, take a trip to Devils Lake State Park, go fishing, canoeing and on stream hikes. It's up to you!

Take a Virtual Tour of Explorer Village:
