Description
We believe that teenagers at high school level are looking for summer experiences that will challenge them, provide them with a sense of ownership and an opportunity to make incredible connections. Each experience at Teen Camp is designed to help develop leadership, growth and great memories.
We challenge our TAC campers to think about new ideas, to put themselves outside of their comfort zone and to gain an appreciation for helping and benefiting others. Campers leave completely inspired by the opportunities they have explored and the new ideas they have been exposed to. All campers get to participate in a travel experience during each session of camp, providing them with the chance to explore a new place and participate in volunteer work, site seeing and adventure. Our service learning program provides campers with meaningful volunteer work and a connection to local not for profits agencies. Teen Camp is a place that can offer something for everyone while challenging anyone.
