About St. John: St. John is located approximately 60 miles east of Puerto Rico, in the Lesser Antilles. The smallest of the three U.S. Virgin Islands and undoubtedly the most pristine, St. John is blessed because most of it is protected. The Virgin Islands National Park comprises more than 60% of the island and much of the surrounding waters. For the outdoor enthusiast, there is plenty to do here. Hiking trails crisscross the rugged terrain, beautiful sandy beaches dot the water's edge, while colorful reefs teeming with life lie just offshore.
Our Summer Youth Program is based at Maho Bay Camps, a private campground nestled in the heart of the Virgin Islands National Park. We will be staying in tent-cottages, wood and screen cabins, while we are SCUBA diving, hiking and mountain biking. The remainder of our program consists of two major expeditions: a five-day kayaking and camping tour through the British Virgin Islands and a five-day sail aboard a fifty-foot yacht in the British and U.S. Virgin Islands.
