Adventure Weekend Experience

A Lowden Adventures Camp Program 

Our Adventure Weekend Experiences are packed with action, and there's something for everyone to enjoy. The weekend features camp-wide open programming, including activities like target and range sports, a challenging climbing wall, an exhilarating BMX Bike trail, Scoutcraft and Pioneering challenges, and more.

For those units looking to add a little extra excitement to their weekend, we offer half-day experiences that promise to take your adventure to the next level. Paddle along the scenic Rock River with a canoe ride, explore the captivating trails of Lowden State Park on a Mountain Bike ride, venture on camp trails with a thrilling ATV ride, or engage in hands-on Trades experiences that will broaden your horizons. This is a great summer opportunity for units with older Scouts to experience adventures at Camp Lowden.

Campsite and Saturday lunch is provided as part of your registration. During registration, your unit will have the option to add on any of the available half-day experiences.
