Adventure Trips

As an extension of some of our popular activities, we have some adventure trip programs. All trips include trained Camp Augusta staff, as well as professionals in their respective fields.  Since these trips are more than one day, it doesn’t make sense to offer them during one-week sessions. For campers combining one-week sessions, we will run trips on the weekend if there is sufficient interest. Everything is included – no special gear necessary.  The expense covers the professional guide services.

Long Day Trips

Sometimes campers are interested in going out and doing something a bit different than the longer trips, the backpacking overnight, or the activities held at camp. We also offer long day trips to points of interest around Camp Augusta.  These will be offered based on demand, so please inquire before the session begins to let us know.

  • Kayaking Lake Tahoe
  • Sailing Lake Tahoe
