Climbing Wall and Zip Line
Easily one of the most popular activities at Awosting, the Climbing Wall and Zip Line are for the campers that
like challenges. In order to take a ride on the zip line, campers must first scale one of the sides of the climbing
wall - always supervised by several trained staff members. Additionally, campers can opt to rappel. As with all
the activities at Awosting, safety is always the first concern - but having FUN is a close second!

Go-Karts
The Kart track at the top of the road is the place to test your driving skills - NO LICENSE REQUIRED!! All campers
have the opportunity to try and beat the camp speed record around the famous hairpin turn. In addition, basic engine
care and maintenance are taught in morning instruction sessions. As with all our programs, safety and fun are always
our number one concerns.

Mini-Bikes
Restricted to campers 11 and older, the Mini-Bikes are one of the most popular activities with our older campers.
Whether it is on our trails through the woods, or on the circuit track, campers have the opportunity to race against
each other. Helmets and long pants are required of all riders. Formal safety and bike maintenance lessons are built
into the morning instruction periods.

Archery
Robin Hood where are you? Become a skilled archer this summer. Camp Awosting's archery range is the best place for
boys to become sharpshooters. Morning instruction teaches campers the skills they need and the safety required to be
a top-notch archer. Practicing daily pays off when the boys compete against the girls of Camp Chinqueka in one of the
many summer exchanges.

Bungee Trampoline
Flip and fly through the air on our awesome 30 foot bungee trampoline. Campers of all ages are welcome to jump
till they drop. Added in 2007, it has quickly become one of our most popular activities.

Overnight Camping
In the mood to rough it? Weekly overnight trips take the campers out into the wilderness of the Litchfield Hills.
Campers set up camp at local private camping sites, normally near a river or lake, and get back in touch with nature.
Enjoy an evening sleeping under the stars, roasting marshmallows over a fire and telling stories. To find out about
additional co-ed extended camping trips, offered to the senior campers of Awosting and Chinqueka, please see the
special events page.

Trailblazing
Could you survive in the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on your back? Learn how to track animals, build a
shelter, and make a fire. You won't believe how many ways you can catch a fish or start a fire using nothing but
what you find in the woods. If you like the Discovery Channel, this activity is for you!

Horseback Riding
Campers may choose to travel to a local riding stable for daily instruction or trail rides, usually 2 to 3 times per
week. Riding usually takes place during the morning instruction periods and is available for an additional fee.
Although you may bring your own riding gear, please, leave your horse at home!

Campfires
Each week, we have a campfire to bring the campers and staff together for an evening of singing, games, storytelling,
and recognition of achievement. With each campfire, campers leave with a lasting memory of a few hours spent with
friends from their cabin and their cabin counselors.
