Visit the seldom reached parts of camp and learn the skills to survive and thrive in the woods. Make fires, build shelters, and learn how to navigate the woods. Start growing that beard and join us for Mighty Men Base Camp! You will spend the entire time in the woods, including making your meals.
Mighty Men Base Camp is the pre-requisite for participation in future Mighty Men Adventure Treks like the ADK Backpacking Trip, ADK Canoe Trip and the ADK High Peak Trip.

Climb to the peaks of some of New Yorks most beautiful mountains – the Adirondacks! Along with the group of mighty men campers and leaders, you will climb Esther, Whiteface, Phelps, and Mt. Marshall – a total of 4 high peaks. Enjoy new views and new friendships as we embark on this great adventure.

The group will be led by our Mighty Men Coordinator, Rob Dickerson, along with an assistant leader. Campers will spend the week using the camping skills learned in base camp to camp in the Adirondacks. Campers will assemble at Camp Hickory Hill and travel as a group to and from the destination. Specific packing lists, departure and arrival times, and other pertinent information will be communicated in detail with parents in the weeks leading up to the trip.

Prerequisite required: you must have completed Mighty Men Base camp offered earlier in the summer or in previous years. This is a specialty camp that does not include regular camp activities and takes place off camp.
