They’re growing up, not outgrowing summer fun!

The magic of camp doesn’t end when the teen years begin! Along with overnight camps for 7-to-15-year-olds, there are countless summer programs designed specifically for young people in middle and high school: teen adventure camps, teen tours, CIT programs, college prep and more camps for ages 13-17.

Summer camps for teenagers

Are there sleepaway camps for teens? Absolutely! Programs for teens can range from one or two weeks to epic, summer-long adventures, and our Camp Specialists have the inside details on each one.

What’s next

Life after camp

The fun doesn’t have to end when your child “graduates” from camp! In the post-camp years, teens can choose from a variety of experiences based on their latest interests, needs, and schedules. Summer programs for teens can bring brand new adventures and opportunities for growth as they set out on a new path that’s just right for them.

Teen travel programs

Surfing in Hawaii? Hiking in Montana? Learning Spanish in Costa Rica? Teen tours are a popular post-camp option for a very good reason: They’re an incredible way for young people to experience new places in a safe, age-appropriate, and fun setting. Teen travel programs combine the community and friendships of summer camp with all the benefits of seeing new places and trying new things. Far from just a vacation, many teen tours incorporate educational and community service opportunities as well.
