Challenge 2026, July 19-31

Get ready to challenge yourself this summer in our special two-week session just for rising ninth graders! This is your chance to dive into a journey of self-discovery, teamwork, and unforgettable outdoor adventures. Spend your days soaking up the sun at the waterfront – sailing across Clear Lake, paddling in canoes and on paddle boards, swimming, and more. Bravely take on the two-level high ropes course, including ziplines and the Leap of Faith! Sharpen your archery skills, enjoy all the activities that make a summer at Camp Tanglefoot so special, and embark on a two-night canoe trip across the lake at a local state park. Throughout this session, you’ll explore your leadership potential through hands-on experiences and team-building activities, develop valuable leadership skills, and gain confidence in yourself before heading off to high school. With your camp friends, you’ll even get to plan and host a special event for younger campers! This two-week adventure is the perfect stepping stone for those interested in joining the Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program in the future. It’s your time to shine–challenge yourself and grow into the leader you’re meant to be.
