High Profile Advanced Adventure Camp - Colorado
|
Idaho Springs
Clear Creek County, Colorado |
CO |
|
|
Geared towards adventurous individuals who are interested in an active camp where challenge, personal achievement and camaraderie are the goals. This trip is off the beaten path and is not your typical “tourist activity” involving large groups in heavily visited places.
You will spend 4 days in the Colorado mountains rock climbing, rappelling, ascending, traversing on fixed ropes, trail running, and trekking. The final day of the camp will involve summit attempts on two 14,000’s peaks.
The cost of the camp is only $900 per person with round trip transportation (minimum of 10) or $700 per person without transportation (driving or flying on your own) to Idaho Springs. This includes 4 days of mountaineering adventure, 3 nights deluxe motel accommodations (double occupancy), a technical commemorative shirt, ropes and rigging, guide services, maps, free on-line credit card processing, permits, SPOT live satellite tracking allowing friends to follow your summit attempt on-line, and arrival and after summit celebrations. Food, alcohol, and personal expenses are on your own.
Each day’s activities have been geared to acclimatize you to the altitude, increasing your chances of standing on the summits of the 7th and 11th highest peaks in Colorado.
Join your guide, Gerry Voelliger, to experience a thoroughly planned and hassle free trip on some of his favorite genuine Colorado adventures. Space is limited to 15. Participants must be in excellent health with a high level of physical fitness. Sponsored by Active Endeavors - Davenport, Iowa!

Tahoe Big Blue Sprint

Defined by both the incredible beauty of Lake Tahoe and the towering peaks of the High Sierra,
Lake Tahoe is one of the world’s most famous sporting playgrounds. The region has an almost endless variety of spectacular mountain biking trails, adventurous hikes and, of course, waterborne activities on the “Big Blue” - Lake Tahoe - one of the largest, deepest and purest alpine lakes on earth. The Tahoe Big Blue Adventure Race is a celebration of the natural environment of the North Shore, and the perfect climate of “Indian Summer.” September is a favorite month of Tahoe locals... and no wonder: day-time temperatures are in the 80’s with the evenings cooling into the 60’s, the skies are deep blue with only an occasional afternoon thunderstorm rolling through (to help keep the dust down on the trails!) and, best of all, the bustle of the summer tourist season is a distant speck in the rear-view mirror. This is a perfect time for a visit to the Big Blue.
Kayaks are provided to you with your entry at this race!
