SENIOR TRIP PROGRAMS
LOVE THE CAMP EXPERIENCE BUT WANT MORE ADVENTURE?
Mohawk’s Senior Trips program might be perfect for you! For new and returning campers ages 14 to 15, join the Senior Day Trips or Cape Cod Trip Senior Camp. The perfect combination of our traditional camp program and off-camp adventure.
DAY TRIPS
SENIOR PROGRAM
Participants in the Day Trips Senior Program enjoy the first week of each two-week session enjoying the traditional camp activities of their choosing, as well as a variety of evening activities such as movies and ice cream. The second week of each session is spent on day trips and excursions away from camp.
Seniors live in cabins with up to seven campers and one counselor. Seniors will enjoy an opportunity to develop cooperative skills, form new friendships, learn new skills, and relax with friends in a peaceful atmosphere.

The Day Trip Senior Program is open to 14 seniors for each session, available only during Session 2 and Session 3. We suggest a store deposit of $125. This will take care of money for a night out to movies and additional expenses on trips. All expenses for meals and admission are covered; store deposit money can be used to purchase anything extra.
Seniors who wish to participate in horseback riding lessons may do so for one week only as seniors are away for the second week. Additional fee is required for riding lessons.
SENIOR PROGRAM
CAPE COD
This program features one week in camp pursuing traditional camp activities and five days during the second week on Cape Cod.
During your week in Cape Cod, girls will have the chance to try the best that the Cape has to offer! Take surf lessons along the coast of the Atlantic and enjoy some relaxing beach time. Hop aboard a ferry to Martha's Vineyard and spend the day exploring the island. Ride a bike along the Rail Trail and try to win a game of mini gol. Participants will be staying at the beautiful Eastham Youth Hostel.
This amazing opportunity has limited space of 14 girls per trip, available only during Session 2 and Session 3.
