They participate in various activities within groups consisting of 10-15 campers, under the guidance of thoroughly vetted counselors. The schedule encompasses two dedicated free swim periods, engaging activities like the Climbing Tower and Ropes Courses, a variety of athletic and creative pursuits, as well as two Choice periods.

We maintain strict adherence to the Oak Crest Travel Protocols for Safety during such times. All Teen Travel campers, along with their parents, are required to sign 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 overseen by experienced adult Division Heads, who are responsible for managing and accompanying the campers on both day and overnight trips. Our dedicated Teen Staff members undergo specialized training to ensure effective supervision of campers in public spaces and address the unique challenges associated with early adolescence.
