Enrollment

Treetops Expeditions is a coed program for adolescents aged 15-17. Most of the Treetops Expeditions participants are alumni of either Camp Treetops or North Country School. We occasionally do enroll campers with no prior experience with either of these programs.

Participants on these trips will be expected to be in good physical shape, will carry their own gear and food, and cook meals for themselves. No technical climbing or kayaking experience is necessary. However, hiking will be on varied, sometimes rugged terrain.

Enrollment for Treetops Expeditions trips is on a first-come first-served basis.
