Northern Lights Rock & Ice:  

Rock n’ Ropes Military Day Camp!

This custom-designed Adventure Day Camp for Military Families focuses on having fun while building confidence and self-respect. Your adventurous week will be full of exciting challenges, initiatives, and fun games.  Campers will experience our state-of-the-art facility while enhancing communication skills, building trust, learning map & compass skills, gaining new rock-climbing skills, soaring to new heights on our high challenge course, zooming down our zip line, and working together to complete challenges on our low and mid-courses.  In addition to all of this fun-filled adventure, we'll also enjoy a culinary class and two swimming sessions at The Essex Resort and Spa, and we'll close the last day with a bonfire and hot dog roast with s’mores!  Filled with adventures to create lasting memories, this incredible camp is one-of-a-kind!

Some of the amazing activities we’ll enjoy:
