All Teen Travel campers and their parents are required to sign our Teen Travel Behavior Contract. Additionally, similar to other camp divisions, both the 7th Grade Teen Travel and the 8th & 9th Grade Teen Travel Programs are placed under the watchful supervision of an adult Division Head. These Division Heads are responsible for overseeing the division within the camp and accompanying campers on both day and overnight trips. Our Teen Staff undergoes specialized training to effectively supervise campers in public spaces and handle the unique challenges associated with early adolescence.
