Summer Camps For Older Kids
April 11th, 2010 by Jeff J. Lorenz, under Travel and Leisure. No Comments
Parents of teenagers can find a summer camp that suits the needs of their child. Wisconsin Camps like Swift Nature Camp Kids Summer Camp offer coed teen summer camp programs that are just for teenaged campers up to 15 years of age. A Counselor in Training Program offers a transition for teens aged 16 and 17. As a parallel to its summer camp programs for pre-teens, Swift Nature Camp offers a full range of camp activities of interest to teens. Hiking, climbing, ceramics, horseback riding, tennis, kayaking, and whitewater rafting are perennially popular programs among teen campers.
Teens Summer Camps can provide a special opportunity for them to make friends in a relaxed and fun-filled environment, build self-esteem and independence, and meet the challenge of new adventures. Swift Nature Camp offers teen cabin mates to leave camp together and venture into the wild. The ideal location brings opportunities to take unforgettable trips to the Apostle Islands, the International Wolf Center, and the Mississippi River.
The directors of Swift Nature Camp believe that children of all ages, especially teenagers, need a break from the stress and competition of the modern world. A positive, encouraging environment that fosters acceptance brings a welcome balance to young lives. The small, intimate, friendly and non-competetive environment for all of its teen summer camp programs benefits veteran campers and first-timers alike.
Today’s teens grow up too fast and need time to play. An Adventure Summer Camp should challenge your teen to try new things, but not in a stressful way. Camp is not school! Interaction with animals can be a perfect way for a child to learn by the natural discovery of play.
After living life in a beautiful natural setting among caring staff and instructors, teens come to love summer camp. Many teen campers return summer after summer, returning to see friends and enjoy the excitement, self-direction, and goofy fun characteristic of camp life. Summer camp is a great place to be oneself and a perfect place to make lifelong friends. Away from the pressures of home, school and competitive sports, teenagers discover themselves and thrive.
