Teen Travel (7th, 8th & 9th Graders) Summer Camp near 08812
At Oak Crest, our 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade students actively participate in the Teen Travel Program, located in 08812, New Jersey. This program allows teenage campers to fully engage in Oak Crest activities while also embarking on exciting day and overnight trips. Specifically, 7th graders attend camp on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, reserving Tuesdays and Thursdays for day trips. In contrast, 8th and 9th graders follow a different schedule, attending camp on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with travel days scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Additionally, teens have the flexibility to choose between 2- or 3-day overnight trips.
At our New Jersey location in 08812, teenagers at Camp follow a well-organized group schedule. They are grouped into cohorts of 10-15 campers, under the vigilant supervision of meticulously vetted counselors. This structured schedule encompasses two designated free swim sessions, engaging activities like the Climbing Tower and Ropes Courses, a diverse selection of athletic and creative pursuits, and two Choice periods. These Choice periods grant teens the autonomy to select their preferred activities, affording them the opportunity to explore a wide range of experiences by choosing a new activity during each Choice period.
At our New Jersey location in 08812, when venturing beyond the camp premises, our teenagers diligently adhere to the Oak Crest Travel Protocols for Safety. All Teen Travel campers, along with their parents, are required to endorse the Teen Travel Behavior Contract. Similar to other divisions within the camp, both the 7th Grade Teen Travel and the 8th & 9th Grade Teen Travel Programs are under the vigilant oversight of an adult Division Head. These division heads are responsible for managing their respective divisions within the camp and accompanying campers on both day and overnight excursions. Our Teen Staff members undergo specialized training to proficiently supervise campers in public settings and handle the unique challenges associated with early adolescence.
