Trekkers – Explore, Hike, and Discover the Wild Side of Camp
The Trekkers Program at YMCA Camp Nissokone is the first step in our Wilderness Immersion & Leadership Development track — designed specifically for campers entering Grade 7 who are ready to explore beyond the edges of base camp and take on a real outdoor adventure.This immersive week gives campers a hands-on introduction to hiking, camping, and outdoor living — all while building confidence, independence, and teamwork in Michigan’s most breathtaking natural spaces.
What to ExpectTrekkers begin their week at Camp Nissokone learning essential outdoor skills:
- Hiking preparation and gear packing
- Map reading, navigation, and Leave No Trace principles
- Cooking outdoors and setting up camp
- Wilderness teamwork and safety
This program is all about pushing boundaries, building resilience, and learning by doing — in a supportive, staff-led environment.
Whether it’s your camper’s first hiking trip or a next step on their leadership journey, Trekkers is a chance to grow, explore, and make memories that last far beyond the trail.
