Teen Adventure Program

We fundraise all year so we can continue to meet our mission! This helps us provide significant discounts to many camper families.

Teen Adventure Program Info

The Teen Adventure Program is very different from our other Camp programs. It is 12-day overnight program designed for 13-14 year old campers who enjoy the outdoors, being physically active, and participating in adventure-based activities. Campers may attend ONE session of Teen Adventure.


Teen Adventure campers will participate in a variety of activities on our 235 acre property, 

which may include…


  • Group Challenges
  • High Ropes
  • Trail Biking
  • Climbing
  • Boating
  • Swimming
  • Hiking


Your teen should understand that TAP can be more intense than our regular Overnight Camp program. Expectations for respectful, positive behavior are high, as TAP campers are considered role models for our younger campers. As such, they are expected to participate in all activities to the best of their ability. 


Teen Adventure Campers reside in their own cabins in Boys Village and Girls Village; boys and girls Teen Adventure groups are not co-ed. This program includes adventure-challenge activities which are based out of camp in Horsham and will include several day trips. Teen Adventure campers will not be traveling to our Spruce Run Outpost during the 2025 season.


Our program is designed to allow teens to grow in numerous ways: self-confidence, teamwork, leadership, and new outdoor skills. This unique combination fosters an appreciation for the environment, instills a spirit of adventure, and fosters a sense of community through memorable experiences!

Overnight campers are divided in groups according to age and gender. Girls aged 10-12 live in Girls Village cabins, while boys 10-12 spend their time in Boys Village. Campers ages 8-9 stay in Tween Creeks cabins, which are divided by gender within the Village. 


Teen Adventure campers are in their own groups within Girls and Boys Villages respectively.


The Camp Office will try to accommodate bunking requests if communicated before the Camp season begins.

We provide all of our campers with nutritious meals that include vegetarian and gluten free options. Each day breakfast, lunch and dinner is made fresh in our on-site kitchen facility and served at Davies Hall.  We try as often as possible to source our ingredients from our garden or from the farm. We strive to provide delicious foods that everyone will enjoy but if your camper will not eat what is being served please notify use 3 weeks before your session so that we can try to accommodate your request.  Please keep in mind that we are a peanut free facility.
