River Mountain camps and adventures empower young people to achieve better tech-life balance, so they can flourish as kids today and become the leaders of tomorrow.
Screen time for 10 to 15 year-olds has changed dramatically over the past 10 years. Apps and games use persuasive design to keep kids hooked for as long as possible.
Designed in partnership with Penn State University, our screen-free, immersive experiences empower kids to be more mindful about time spent on technology and the benefits of time spent engaging with each other and the natural world.
