Welcome to the Camp Daggett Adventure Center (CDAC).  Experiential education, team-building opportunities, and low/high ropes challenge courses offer empowering moments for growth in challenging, safe and fun environments.  For some, this type of learning environment may seem unique, but whether you feel right at home, or you find yourself a little bit hesitant; the programs provided at the CDAC are designed as an “invitation to learn” for all participants.  It is in that same spirit, that we invite you to explore and learn more about all that the CDAC and its wonderful programs have to offer.  We are ready to share in an unforgettable experience, and we hope you are too!
