"My daughter left her 2 week camp session crying the whole car ride home saying that she wanted to stay for the whole summer. If that doesn't speak for itself, then I don't know what does."

Teen Camp is a step up for campers who've completed seventh grade, offering a blend of adventure, challenge, and fun.
