Group D – Day Hike: Ramapo Vista Loop 1

On newly blazed and updated trails designed to enhance the hiking experience, this trail travels through all types of terrain. It follows along side the Ramapo River, crosses over cascading brooks and visits a waterfall. The numerous vistas include views of the NYC skyline, the MacMillian Reservoir and Scarlet Oak Pond.

During hikes we learn proper hiking techniques, safety, natural and human history, Leave No Trace Principles, tick awareness, trail etiquette and more.

Campers will wear their face masks on the bus to get to and from the hike. On the trail, they will be able to hike in the open fresh air without their masks, putting them on if they pass another hiker outside of our group.

We will cancel a hike if the weather is too hot, it’s raining heavily, or there is a serious threat of thunderstorms. If possible, all canceled hikes are rescheduled. If a hike is canceled, your camper will be scheduled for a full day of activities at camp, so be sure they bring a swimsuit to camp every day, even on hike days.
