Winter Adventure Camp
Uumm… What's a WAC?!
WAC stands for Winter Adventure Camp. It’s a time for mentors, mentees (age 10+), and staff to try something completely new and outside their normal comfort boundaries. WAC can take on many different shapes depending on what a local program wants and needs. Perhaps it is a time for mentors and mentees to come together and have a great time building snow forts, drinking hot cocoa, and trying their skill at snow shoeing or cross-country skiing. It can also be a time for a mentor retreat with teambuilding activities, goofy songs, and an improv show at the firebowl. High Adventure with teens, Culminating Experience with everyone … the possibilities are about as endless as the number of snowflakes that will fall at camp this winter!!!

But What Happens at WAC?
Here at the DREAM office we love seeing mentors taking ownership of experiences they share with their mentees. A great way to do this is to be a major player in creating a WAC that will provide experiences that expand boundaries and test limits for mentors and mentees alike. Your PED will help you plan a great WAC weekend for your program!
Here’s a link to a sample WAC schedule that gives you a general timeline of a fantastically WAC-y weekend!
What do I bring to WAC?
