High adventure at SBR adds a new dimension to the Scouting experience. High adventure is not just about adrenaline and the wow factor, it’s about digging deep within yourself, finding out what makes you tick and discovering how to push beyond what you think you can do.
The Summit offers Scouts a distinctive opportunity to experience five unique high-adventure experiences with one thing in common: the experience of a lifetime. Dig in and explore which of our high adventure experiences suits your unit, and start your journey today.
High Adventure isn’t just another camp—it’s the ultimate test of skill, teamwork, and personal growth. It’s where Scouts step outside their comfort zones, push their limits, and discover strengths they didn’t know they had. Whether it’s conquering rugged trails, soaring across zip lines, or navigating wild rivers, High Adventure experiences create memories that last a lifetime. More than fun, they’re transformational moments that build confidence, resilience, and leadership.
