Teen Programs at Camp
Teens at camp get the amazing opportunity to spend two weeks at camp learning new skills. This is done through a unique multi-tiered program. This program is designed to provide the teens of our area the opportunity to develop their leadership skills while also helping them build hands on job skills.
