Venture in the NC mountains on an amazing trip as part of your summer camp experience at Arrowhead.

Spearhead: Arrowhead's Premier Adventure Trip

Basic Info | General Itinerary | Skills and Ideals

It may not be a prequel or a sequel, but the return of Spearhead is the revival of a decades-old tradition here at Arrowhead. This extended, wilderness adventure trip has come back to life, and campers 13 years and older are invited to consider becoming the new pioneers of this epic program.

During the summer camp season of 2009, we offered two different, two-week Spearhead sessions. The two weeks entailed a few days of training at camp on the front end, an approximately 8-day, out-of-camp adventure and then a return to Arrowhead in time for all end-of-session festivities. Spearhead is more than just a trip…it is an amazing and challenging learning experience our campers will never forget.

Spearhead I and III focused on rock climbing and ran during the last two weeks of our June session and the End of Main session, respectively. Click here to see specific dates & fees – Spearhead costs the same as our other two-week sessions - and click here for a packlist.

Spearhead is currently not on our 2012 schedule, but if you or your camper have any interest in the program for the future, then please contact us at camp and let us know.
