What Is Venturing Camp Week?

Venturing Camp Week is a specialized high-adventure program at Camp Hi-Sierra designed for older Scouts seeking advanced outdoor experiences, leadership opportunities, and hands-on skill development.

Unlike a traditional summer camp week, Venturing Camp Week focuses on older youth through small-group, instructor-led activities with a strong emphasis on adventure, challenge, and youth leadership. Participants build a personalized experience through advanced program offerings while exploring Camp Hi-Sierra and the surrounding Sierra Nevada.

With only three Scouts per instructor, Venturing Camp Week offers personalized instruction and meaningful hands-on experiences in a youth-centered environment.

Scouts may attend individually or with friends. Participants are grouped with other Venturing-age Scouts to create a collaborative and engaging experience.
