The Kentucky Outdoor Institute is excited to bring back the ImpactU Adventure camp this summer! Learn the basics of climbing, canoeing, and backpacking, as well as develop skills in risk awareness, decision-making, and camp craft during this camp. This camp has limited spots to maintain a high instructor-to-student ratio. Join us for a week full of experiencing God’s creation through outdoor adventures!

During the ImpactU Adventure camp, the camper may encounter many different types of activities. These activities may include, but are not limited to, hiking, backpacking, canoeing, camping, caving, and rock climbing. To make sure the camper comes ready for any adventure, we put together a list of items to bring to the camp. These are geared specifically to the activities we may experience during the week, but keep in mind that the campers will also have some downtime on campus, so they will also need to pack clothes, shoes, etc for those specific times.
