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.
