Adventures on the Road

Travel camps at Congressional provide the perfect opportunity for you to adventure in new directions around our area!  The experienced program leaders plan each session to assure that campers will have a safe, rewarding and happy experience that fosters qualities such as self-confidence and cooperation.  The majority of trips are scheduled to take place during regular camp hours; however, some trip logistics may require an early departure or late arrival.  This change will be noted on your schedule, which will be sent home with campers on the first day of each session.  The combination of boundless fun and personal responsibility creates friendships and lasting memories.  No wonder these programs fill up so quickly!
