REGISTER NOW FOR SUMMER 2010!
Teen Adventure Camp is designed for campers ages 14-16 and is all about discovering new activities, making friends and having fun. Exciting enrichments, thrilling outdoor challenges and camp adventures make for an unforgettable experience. Whitewater rafting, trips to Hersheypark and a day at a high ropes course help campers literally reach new heights.
What fun would camp be without campfires, a night of sleeping under the stars or camp competitions? It wouldn’t be Adventure Camp, that’s for sure. Every session, campers spend at least one night braving the wild and almost every night singing around the campfire. Also campers are divided into two rival teams, the Hurricanes and Tornadoes. Fighting for bragging rights, these two groups face off in competitions such as Camp Wars, Song Battles and Capture the Flag(to name a few).
Living at Camp
This is overnight camping?
These are contemporary camps with a traditional flavor, even down to cabin life. Campers live in a modern,air-conditioned dormitory that has been altered to meet the vigorous needs of Adventure Campers. Two sets of bunk beds occupy each dorm room, which 3-4 campers transform into their cabin. Carpeted hallways lead to tiled bathrooms, with showers that have privacy curtains.
Bring your trunk and personal necessities, and you are set for cabin life, Adventure Camp style.
Counselors live in adjacent cabins and our open-door policy ensures comfort and safety for every camper. An emphasis on respect, courtesy, cooperation,and consideration enables campers to live and thrive with others to make cabin life enjoyable for all.
