Teen Travel (7th, 8th & 9th Graders) Summer Camp near 08880
At Oak Crest, our 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade students actively participate in our Teen Travel Program, situated in the 08880 region of New Jersey. Within this program, our teen campers engage in Oak Crest activities while also embarking on day and overnight excursions beyond the camp’s premises.
To provide more specific scheduling details, 7th graders attend camp on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, reserving Tuesdays and Thursdays for day trips. Conversely, 8th and 9th graders follow a different schedule, attending camp on Tuesdays and Thursdays, while their travel days occur on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Moreover, we offer the flexibility for Teens to choose between 2- or 3-day overnight trips as part of their camp experience.
At our New Jersey location in 08880, Camp Oak Crest maintains a well-structured program for teenagers. Teen campers follow a group schedule that involves supervised activities in small groups of 10-15 campers, under the guidance of rigorously screened counselors.
This schedule includes two dedicated periods for free swim, participation in activities like the Climbing Tower and Ropes Courses, engagement in a wide spectrum of athletic and creative endeavors, and the incorporation of two Choice periods. During these Choice periods, teenagers enjoy the flexibility to select the activities they wish to participate in, allowing them to explore a diverse range of options by choosing a new activity during each Choice period.
At our New Jersey location in 08880, Oak Crest places a paramount emphasis on safety when our teens venture beyond the camp premises. Our Teen Travel program strictly adheres to the Oak Crest Travel Protocols for Safety, ensuring the well-being of our campers.
To reinforce this commitment, all Teen Travel campers and their parents are required to sign our Teen Travel Behavior Contract. Furthermore, akin to other divisions within the camp, both the 7th Grade Teen Travel and the 8th & 9th Grade Teen Travel Programs are placed under the supervision of an adult Division Head. These Division Heads are responsible for overseeing their respective divisions within the camp and accompany campers on both day and overnight trips.
Our dedicated Teen Staff members undergo specialized training to proficiently supervise campers in public spaces and effectively address the unique challenges associated with early adolescence. This comprehensive approach to safety ensures that our campers have a secure and enjoyable experience while participating in our Teen Travel programs.
