We’re taking a year off from Wilderness Trips at Augusta

The info across this site is from past years.

Check back in the future, as we are likely to frolic in the wilderness again.

And if you’re interested in the many other outdoor programs we have at Augusta, check out our main site: campaugusta.org.

Registrations have begun! Explore our trips below and fill out an interest form or give us a call if you’re interested in joining one of our trips.

Sign Up For One Of Our Existing Trips

Explore our planned trips and if you see one you are interested in, fill out an interest form or call us to sign up for that specific trip. This allows you to guarantee a spot in one of our trips as soon as possible.

Join A Waitlist For A Different Trip

If our existing trips don’t work for your timeline or you’re not interested in those specific locations, you can register your interest for a different trip that we offer. If we get enough campers interested in these trips, we will contact you to confirm your interest and confirm that trip for this year. For some trips, we need a minimum group size before we can confirm it, so this option does not guarantee that trip will happen.

Create A Custom Wilderness Trip

Know a group of friends that would love to embark on a week long adventure in the wilderness together? We can plan a custom trip that works for your schedules and preferences. These trips usually end up being a similar cost to our standard trips, and can be a great option if you have specific date requirements and have enough campers to join. Contact us today for more information on what this process involves!
