Pursuit Fitness Summer Camp
At Camp Bennett, we are bringing back the "Analog Summer"—the kind of childhood where the best days were spent building forts in the woods until the streetlights came on. This is more than just a camp; it’s a 5-day immersion into boyhood and brotherhood.
Coach Will designed this experience specifically for "boy energy." Things are a little rougher, a little dirtier, and a little harder. We don't just sweat; we train character.

The Adventure of Building Tangible Competence
1. BUILD STUFF: Architects of the Woods
We don’t hand out pre-made kits; we provide real tools and raw materials. Boys learn to manipulate their environment—hauling stones, lashing timber, and engineering forest outposts using saws, hammers, nails, and rope.
2. BURN STUFF: Mastery of the Elements
Every morning starts with "Clearing the Battleground." We clear hazards from our movement space and harvest natural materials for our fort builds, followed by vital fire-safety education as we gather over a small morning campfire the boys will build (as conditions allow).
3. BLAST STUFF: Strategic Tactical Missions
After building and strengthening the forts, the boys will defend their forts in high-intensity battles.
- Younger Units: Water Balloon Ops to stay cool while mastering team movement.
- Older Units: Gel-Fire Blasters to build leadership, communication, and situational awareness.
