Voyaguer Trek is a week-long canoeing experience modelled in the 1700's that starts Sunday with the participants meeting staff members in period regalia. They camp Sunday evening about 1/4 mile from main camp, then Monday they travel to a location up river from Fries, VA. For the next four days they canoe down the river and get out near Hiwassee, VA on Thursday afternoon. I'm not sure if they return to camp for a short period or not, but they then travel to WV and camp overnight, then raft the New River Gorge (water level permitting) and return to camp late Friday. They have thier own campfire progam (Exception is OA tapout).

I will be returning for my 11th year on camp staff. I feel that the leadership has always treated me with respect and acted like I was an important member of the staff. When I have had a problem with campers, including 'adults', the senior staff have backed me. I primarily work with the New River Adventure program, but I have contact with many of the staff members from the other programs and camps on the Reservation, and feel that everyone does thier best to provide an interesting and exciting camp program. I won't say that there are no disagreements, but they are usually solved in a civilized manner. Even rule breaking by staff is taken seriously.
