Adventure Trips
The coaches of Westfield Ultimate also run a variety of adventure trips which builds team unity and lasting memories throughout the years. These programs are run through DEVYL Ultimate, the Westfield YMCA Teen Department, or Westfield Public Schools.
YOUTH ADVENTURE CAMPING TRIPS:
These trips are led by Westfield Ultimate Coaches and guest chaperones who has chaperoned or organized over 45 youth overnight camping trips over the years. We rent out a part of Camp Tecumseh which is a weekday sleep away camp. We use their wilderness site which includes tent camping, running water, and cooking over a fire and grill. However, since we rent it out on the weekend when camp is not in session, we utilize their facilities including boating on the their lake, swimming in a swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, open sports fields, etc. In addition, we usually run a day trip as part of the trip usually rafting on the Delaware!
SUMMER 2024 TRIPS:
Trip #1 - August 9-12, 2024
Trip #2 - August 16-19, 2024
This trip is designed for the beginning to intermediate camper. While we camp in tents, we cook over the fire or on a grill. However, we are just 150 yards from a summer camp site so we go swimming in an in-ground pool, boating on a lake, use their sports fields for Ultimate/soccer, and use their tennis courts for tennis/basketball/pickleball. We also play a lot of spikeball/kanjam at our campsite, utilize their 18 hole disc golf course, and go fishing in their lakes and ponds.
