Camp Description:
Wilderness Adventure at Eagle Landing has been changing outlooks and developing leaders since 1990. We are not a traditional summer camp; we are an all-outdoor, ACA Accredited, Adventure Program.The sun sets on the horizon as you paddle your sea kayak onto the shores of Ha Long Bay, "where the dragon descends into the sea." As your group prepares dinner, calm ocean tides and the enchanting sounds of an ancient culture loom through the archipelago of nearly a thousand limestone-spired islands. At sunrise, you hop the Loa Cai train to Sapa where you'll trek Mount Fanispan, the highest peak in the country. Now this is adventure in Vietnam! Fly into Hanoi, meet your group, and experience 23 days adventuring through one of Southeast Asia's most diverse countries. You will spend each day traveling throughout the 960 miles of vastly diverse coastal lowlands, rainforests, and jagged mountain ranges that extend as far as the eye can see. Although trekking, cycling, sea kayaking, and snorkeling are among the adventure highlights of this exploration, the foundation of the program lies in experiencing the intense and unique cultural aspects of Vietnam. Throughout the trip, you will learn about the fascinating and enduring history of Vietnam and its people while experiencing their traditions, customs, and ecological diversity.
Vietnam As you and your group trek, cycle, and snorkel your way through Vietnam, you'll take frequent breaks to explore the historical and provincial cities and villages of Hanoi, Haiphong, Cat Ba, Danang, Nha Trang, Ho Chi Minh City, and Dalat. During the final three days of this journey, you and your group will embark on a three-day cruise down the Mekong Delta where you'll explore the adjacent land by bicycle along the way. Your group will travel south from the province of Sapa to end your journey in Ho Chi Minh City. It is here that your adventure comes to an end and you catch your flight home. From the ancient temples and isolated villages that represent Vietnam's unadulterated simplicity, to its bustling cities and floating markets, Explore Vietnam is an all-encompassing overseas experience that fuses an adventure with a culture that is undeniably Vietnam. Call or visit our website for sample itineraries. Additional Locations include: Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Alaska, Puerto Rico, & Panama.
