MindStretch Travel Adventures
incredible travel experiences for kids since 1978
We're not your typical summer camp!

MindStretch Travel Adventures, LLC, a summer travel program for boys, offers unique travel experiences for boys ages 9 and older. Originally founded as Open Road Experiences in 1978, the program has been under the same leadership all this time.
Over the years... boys and leaders have enjoyed travel throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and more. We're not exactly a summer camp though we do lots of summer camp kinds of activities - but we do it all while visiting some of the most breathtaking natural areas you can imagine.
While these trips take place during the summer and involve a lot of camping types of activities, this is not your typical summer camp. We experience the great outdoors and incredible national parks and scenic areas during the day, but at night we return to a comfortable hotel room and dinner in a sit-down restaurant. So no matter what the day brings, we always know we'll have a dry place to sleep and a nice dinner with friends where we don't have to wash the dishes.

We had a wonderful mountain bike ride in Acadia National Park led by a volunteer park ranger.

The group at Grandfather Mountain State Park during the NC High Country trip in 2019.
When I asked my son last year what he enjoyed the most (and he eventually told me about many, many things that happened, both big and small), he thought for a moment and said, "Our leaders. They were all just really great guys." It was first and foremost for him. You and your colleagues really made an impression, and struck just the right balance for him - safety, warmth, encouragement, fun, humor, clarity of expectation, firmness... all of it was spot on for him, and I thank you.
