Day Trippers (Ages 18-24 years)

Day Trippers is the next evolution of Camp Bonaventure. Participants aged 18 - 24 years participate in four, one week sessions during August. Day Trippers meet at Riveredge Park. Due to the high demand for Vacationers trips and low registration in Day Trippers over the past few years, Day Trippers will start at the end of July and have no overnights.

Keepin’ cool in the shade!
