Teen Travel (7th, 8th & 9th Graders) Summer Camp near Skillman
At Oak Crest in Skillman, New Jersey, our 7th, 8th, and 9th-grade students actively engage in our Teen Travel Program. This program offers our teen campers a unique blend of on-site Oak Crest activities alongside the opportunity to embark on both day and overnight trips. Specifically, 7th graders have camp sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, reserving Tuesdays and Thursdays for day excursions. Conversely, 8th and 9th graders follow a schedule where they attend camp on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with travel days on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Furthermore, teens have the option to choose between 2-day or 3-day overnight trips for added exploration.
At our Skillman, New Jersey facility, our Teen Camp maintains a well-organized group schedule designed to enhance the camper experience. Teens are divided into small groups of 10-15, each meticulously supervised by our rigorously screened counselors. The daily agenda comprises two designated periods for free swim, engaging activities such as the Climbing Tower and Ropes Courses, a variety of athletic and creative options, and two Choice periods. During these Choice periods, teenagers have the freedom to select their preferred activities, encouraging them to explore a wide range of experiences by choosing something different during each Choice period.
At our Skillman, New Jersey site, the safety and well-being of our teen campers are paramount, especially when they venture beyond our campgrounds. To ensure their security, all Teen Travel participants and their parents must sign our Teen Travel Behavior Contract, a requirement upheld by Oak Crest. Much like other divisions within the camp, both the 7th Grade Teen Travel and the 8th & 9th Grade Teen Travel Programs are under the vigilant supervision of an adult Division Head. These dedicated leaders oversee their respective divisions within the camp and accompany campers on both day and overnight excursions.
Furthermore, our specialized Teen Staff members undergo rigorous training to adeptly supervise campers in public settings and effectively address the unique challenges associated with early adolescence. This meticulous approach guarantees a safe and enriching experience for our teen campers.
