At our New Jersey location, specifically in 08543, Camp offers a well-structured program for teenagers. Teens at our camp follow a structured group schedule, with each group comprising 10-15 campers, all under the supervision of rigorously screened counselors. The daily schedule encompasses two designated free swim periods, engaging activities like the Climbing Tower and Ropes Courses, a variety of athletic and creative pursuits, and two Choice periods. These Choice periods grant teenagers the autonomy to select their preferred activities, encouraging them to explore a diverse range of options by choosing new activities during each Choice period.
At our New Jersey location, situated in 08543, we prioritize the safety of our teenagers when they venture beyond the camp premises. Our Teen Travel Program strictly adheres to Oak Crest’s Travel Protocols for Safety. All Teen Travel campers and their parents are required to endorse our Teen Travel Behavior Contract, underscoring their commitment to responsible conduct during travel activities. Much like other divisions within our camp, both the 7th Grade Teen Travel and the 8th & 9th Grade Teen Travel Programs operate under the vigilant supervision of an adult Division Head. These Division Heads are responsible for overseeing their respective divisions within the camp and accompanying them on both day and overnight excursions. Our dedicated Teen Staff members receive specialized training to effectively supervise campers in public spaces and address the unique challenges associated with early adolescence.
