2026 Crystalaire Adventures Schedule
Registration for Summer 2026 is open!
Crystalaire Mini Wilderness Adventures
Ages 10-15 (Grades 3-9)
Our "Mini Adventures" are designed to complement our 1-week and 2-week residential camp sessions at Camp Carvela and Camp Lookout. However, these trips can also be done as a stand-alone camp experience. This 3-day base camping adventure is the perfect introduction to wilderness camping and is ideal for campers who are interested in participating in our longer expedition-style trips in the future.
Crystalaire Classics
Ages 11-14 (Middle School)
Our "classic" trips are well suited for middle school-aged participants who are interested in trying backcountry camping for the first time or who want to deepen their backcountry skills. These week-long adventures offer plentiful time to form meaningful relationships with fellow participants and a unique opportunity to explore some of Northern Michigan's most beautiful wilderness destinations.
In 2026 we're operating our "Classic" trips in three locations:
Crystalaire Expeditions
Ages 13-17 (High School)
Our expedition-style trips are well suited for older campers or campers with previous backcountry experience. These 2-week adventures offer campers an extended opportunity to explore a more challenging or remote terrain and build deep realtionships with fellow participants.
Teen Leadership Cojourn
Ages 15-18 (High School)
The Cojourn is our capstone camp program for older campers who are seeking an intentional leadership development experience. This three-week program is designed to strengthen campers' communication, collaboration, and conflict-resolution skills while providing opportunities for self-discovery and growth. The Cojourn is ideal for campers who are on the cusp of a big transition, whether that's college, a career, or a gap year experience.

Voluntary Withdrawal
Once a session begins, camp fees are non-refundable, and no full or partial refunds will be issued if a camper leaves early or is unable to complete the session. This applies regardless of the reason, including illness, injury, homesickness, family emergency, disciplinary dismissal, or changes in family plans.
When your camper's session begins, the costs of providing their camp experience—including staffing, food, transportation, program supplies, and other operating expenses—have already been committed based on enrollment. Because these expenses cannot be recovered, we are unable to offer refunds once a session is underway.
This policy helps ensure we can continue providing a safe, high-quality camp experience for all families, both now and in the future.
Camp-Initiated Cancellation
Project Foxwood reserves the right to cancel, shorten, delay, or modify any session due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to wildfire, smoke or poor air quality, flooding, severe weather, or other natural disasters; epidemic, pandemic, or public health orders; fire, power or water outages, or facility damage; evacuation orders or road closures; war, civil unrest, or acts of terrorism; labor disruptions; or any other force majeure event.
If any of these circumstances occur, refunds or credits may not be available, in whole or in part, depending on the nature of the event and the expenses already incurred. Any decisions will be made in light of the specific circumstances and applicable law.
Financial Hardship
We understand that life doesn't always go according to plan, and we never want a family to feel uncomfortable reaching out if their circumstances change.
If your family is experiencing financial hardship before your camper's session begins, please contact us as soon as possible. Although our refund policy remains in effect, we're always happy to have a conversation about possible options, such as adjusted payment schedules, scholarship or campership assistance, or, when appropriate, credit toward a future session. Every situation is unique, and we'll do our best to work with you whenever we can.
Session Changes or Transfers
If something comes up and you’d like to switch to a different session, we’ll do our best to accommodate you!
-
Transfers are welcome when space is available, and there’s no fee for moving to a session of equal value.
-
If you transfer to a lower-cost session, please note that credit card processing fees from the original registration remain nonrefundable.
