His vast abilities allow an endless amount of skills to be taught and questions to be answered. Michael has ignited and maintained the attention of hundreds of youths through his depth of knowledge and gentle style.

Michael will lead the group in nature walks with animal tracking and plant identification, campers will make their own primative tool, and there will be stone tool making and fast-friction fire demonstrations.

We use the center's auto belays as well as the center's and our qualified climbing staff to ensure a fun and safe camp experience. Pizza lunch, and daily games, art projects and movie break included. If you do not want to wear the supplied climbing shoes, make sure yours are suitable for climbing (no chunky heels, wheelies etc).

Ski/Snowboard Day Trip to Whitetail Resort
Location: Drop off/pickup at DMB Sports Office in Sterling VA
Hours: 6:00am drop off, 7:00pm pickup
Open to Middle School and High School students
Rate: $175 ($160 for experienced with own equipment/no lesson, $145 for tubing only)
Includes: lift ticket, ski or snowboard lesson, equipment rental and transportation.
Limit: 50 campers

Session Date: TBD

It's time to take a student holiday to the next level with our older campers--let's go skiing and snowboarding! We've put together a complete package that includes transportation, equipment, lesson, lift ticket and lunch. The lift ticket is limited to easier slopes. An option is available for those experienced with own equipment that includes an open lift ticket for access to all slopes. Those interested in going on the trip but not up for skiing or snowboarding may opt for tubing instead. DMB Sports adult staff will escort this trip with a 10:1 or better ratio, maintain a staffed home base in the lodge and help everyone with equipment, tickets, lessons, lunch etc. We expect that the majority of those joining us will be comfortable using a buddy system and can enjoy the day with friends, but staff will also be on slopes to ensure a good and safe time. We are using Whitetail Resort's preferred bus company, Eyre Bus, for our transportation. In the event we need to cancel this event due to weather that restricts us from getting to Whitetail safely, our make up date is President's Day.
