What activities are available at Camp Taiwan?
Whether you are attending our residential summer camp program, an adventure based school program, or a weekend family or group camp, there is something for everyone at Camp Taiwan. With a focus on experiential education, campers will engage in hands-on activities that promote learning through experience, teamwork, and exploration. It's the ideal blend of education and recreation in a lively, supportive environment.. Some of our core activities are described below.
Giant Swing
one of our special attractions. A camper is suspended from a cable about 2.5 meters above the ground. The other campers the pull on a rope to take them to the top of the swing. Campers are in full control and can go as high as they wish before pulling the release let them swing. It is fun and exciting for all ages.
River Tracing
a popular event in Taiwan, but people from abroad may not be familiar with it. There is a small stream behind the camp and we follow it upstream. There are several pools along the way where they can play various games. The campers all wear special river booties, life jackets, and helmets.
Ecology
The real magic of Camp happens when kids get a chance to slow down and let their inquisitive side take over. Children are naturally curious and love to explore, but they seldom get a chance to do this in today's screen filled world. Camp Taiwan is the perfect environment for kids to have the freedom to explore in a safe, supervised manner.
Archery
a staple activity of every summer camp in North America. Their first time at the activity, campers are given the basic safety instructions for the range and an overview of the fundamental techniques. Practiced archers can test for different levels of certification.
Zip Line
another of our Camp Taiwan favorite activities. Campers climb a pole to a small platform approximately 5 meters above the ground. They then clip into a trolley and slide 150 meters along a cable.
Climbing
We have a 15 meter climbing wall. Campers get basic instruction on how to wear the climbing harness and the commands between the climber and the belayer. We have three levels of climbing on the wall and a cargo net.
Giant Ladder
This is one side of our climbing wall. Like the climbing wall, participants are secured by a rope while they partake in the activity. As the name suggests, the giant ladder is a series of horizontal "logs" suspended from cables to make a ladder of sorts. Participants work in pairs to get to the top. It takes a lot of communication and teamwork to succeed at this one.
