CAMP FACILITIES: Facilities and accommodations vary from trip to trip.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: The Road Less Traveled as an organization was founded by Jim and Donna Stein in 1991, and has been successfully running safe, exciting, life-changing trips for teens ever since. Both Jim and Donna are still the current directors, and are integrally involved in every single aspect of the company. In the summer, they are on call 24/7, available both to parents as well as to our leaders in the field.
We are an ACA accredited organization with an impeccable track record. We believe in the process of accreditation. It allows us to compare our standards to other professionals in the industry. Our accreditation allows us to follow specific standards related to leader screening including use of application forms, reference checks, personal interviews, work history review, and background checks.
Many years ago, we were the first company serving young adults to require that all leaders have a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) medical certification. WFR training is far more advanced than standard first aid or wilderness first aid. In addition to this certification, we carry extensive first aid kits on all of our programs that include antibiotics and epinephrine. Contents, protocols, and standing orders are reviewed and updated every year by our Medical Director who is an MD.
Since our inception, RLT has been on the cutting edge of technological advances in communication. We began carrying Iridium satellite phones on all of our programs as soon as they were available. Today we continue to carry the latest in emergency communication systems. According to geographic location, programs are equipped with satellite phones, ground-to-air radios, and/or cellular phones providing the possibility of 24-hour access to medical help in case of emergency.

Once Upon A Time: 6-10
Instructor: Allison Payne
Explore connections between art and fantasy, as you create your own “happily ever after.” Find inspiration in classic fairy tales as you create your own storybook, puppets, a 3-D storybook scene, and more. This camp is sure to have a happy ending!
Crazy Crafts: 6-10
This camp is centralized on the exploration of a wide variety of art mediums - you won’t find a camp more freeing and intuitive than this one! We will explore what abstract art means through dripping art intentionally like Jackson Pollock, or losing ourselves in the swirling colors of a fluid paint pour project. We will talk about composition and color theory, then put our new knowledge to the test by creating mixed media sculptures. This camp is full of sensory assignments for students who love getting messy and free with art.
Around the World In 4 Days 6-10
From Australian dot paintings to Chinese fans, we will travel around the world learning about cultures and how they express their creativity. Track your exploration in your art journal as you explore history and culture through art. Discover animals, music and old-time stories that have shaped the arts and crafts of different corners of our world.
Join the Circus!: 6-10
Join us to create some exciting and colorful art projects that are inspired by the big top! From 3D sculptures to textured, colorful paintings, kids will get to experience everything circus without having to do any tightrope walking. This may be the most exciting summer camp yet so don’t wait to sign –up!
Young Artists Studio: 6-10
A great characteristic of an excellent artist is being well rounded in the knowledge of different mediums. In Young Artists Studio we will explore these various mediums including painting, sculpture, and mixed media to create beautiful works of art. At the end of the week we will display the works of our budding artists in classic gallery style for friends and family to admire.
Storyteller's Camp: 11-16
In this camp, we will be diving deep into our creative imagination to tell a story through pictures. We will be creating characters that come alive through story and visual depictions of their surroundings. Students will create their heroes’ story by answering questions about each hero’s strengths and weaknesses, their friends and nemeses, and ultimately, their life’s greatest quest. Through drawing lessons, storyboarding, scenery design and watercolor paintings, we will have a character and their story come alive before our eyes like a movie.
Impressionists on the Move: 11-16
This summer camp will consist of delightfully colorful projects with inspiration from many Impressionist greats including Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir, Cezanne and more. Students will also be ready to create on the move with their personally decorated pochade paint boxes, just like true plein air impressionist painters. We’ll learn how to use them by painting subjects outdoors “en plein air”. All the projects they take home from this camp will be colorful keepsakes.
YEAR-ROUND PROGRAMS: We also offer kid and teen art and clay Spring and Fall semester classes every year. You can find more information at Our Camp Website Link: www.studio212arts.com.
