From Horseback Riding to Farming Food, These Summer Camps Redefine Outdoor Education

As summer approaches and families start mapping out their warm-weather plans, many are trading in the usual s’mores and sleeping bags for something a little more adventurous. At Frost Valley YMCA here in The Catskills, kids can hike, ride horses, grow their own food — and discover who they are along the way.

Callie Radday, Executive Director of Camping Services at Frost Valley, appeared on Radio Chatskill to chat about how these one-of-a-kind camps are sparking a love of nature and adventure in the next generation of explorers, animal enthusiasts, and outdoor leaders.
