Reviews:
"I was pleasantly surprised of all the great trips that they offered. The camp is well-planned and it was a relief to me as a working parent not leaving my child to hang out at home or at a friend's house but be with kids her own age having fun, socializing, and learning!" - Teen Adventure Camp parent.
"I had a blast! The counselors were so cool and relatable. The trips were fun and I learned so much on each trip. I can't wait to go back this summer!" - Teen Adventure Camper (8th grade)
"I made a lot of new friends. I was a little nervous not knowing anyone but the counselors and the other kids made me feel right at home. I enjoyed myself last year and am inviting some of my friends from school this summer." -Teen Adventure Camper (7th grade)
