The BOLD & GOLD Programs offer a nationally recognized curriculum through Y-USA. It’s for campers who are ready to take on the challenge of an exciting wilderness adventure, to make new friends and to have fun in a dynamic and safe environment. The trips are led by our experienced BOLD & GOLD Directors who hold certifications in Wilderness First Aid, CPR for the Professional Rescuer and Lifeguarding.
