The Pioneer

Theme Weekends

The Pioneer Program is an out-of-camp trip for campers 12 years old and older experienced in backpacking and canoeing.  It is a challenging four-day adventure hiking on the Appalachian trail and canoeing on the Delaware river.

Theme weekends are the ultimate in Camp Onas fun!  Counselors in crazy costumes, team spirit, cheers in the dining hall, great decorations, a dance and a movie all make the Weekend a highlight of each session.

Dingles and Other Trips

The High Ropes Course

A dingle is the Onas word for a one day canoe trip.  Going on a dingle is a great way to learn how to canoe and get ready for a Pioneer trip someday!  Campers go on many other trips: Mercer  Museum, Peace Valley Nature Center, and the Ringing Rocks glacier field are some of them!

The High Ropes Challenge Course and Low Ropes Adventure Site are a huge amount of fun.  Campers are supported by specially trained staff during an exciting, team-building effort to conquer the elements.
