Teen Week

Ages 13 to 14

A Special Welcome to Teen Week!

Hello, Teen Campers and Families!

As we continue to build on St. Joseph’s Youth Camp’s proud tradition of unforgettable overnight experiences, I am thrilled to introduce a special refresh of Teen Week! This year, we're bringing you the same Teen Week activities that our campers have come to love—kayaking, horseback riding, and ziplining/ropes courses—plus even more to make this the best week of camp ever.

We’re also excited to unveil our theme of Mystery Week, where campers will hone their leadership and problem-solving skills as they work together to crack the mystery of Teen Week. With camp-themed escape rooms, problem-solving mysteries, and late-night Teen Camp Fires, this week will be the ultimate adventure!

Looking forward to an amazing week ahead!

Teen Week: An Elevated Adventure

The Teen Week program is a one-week (7 days, 6 nights) experience for teens ages 13 to 14. During Teen Week, teens participate in various fun, traditional camp activities, including horseback riding, archery, kayaking, and high ropes courses. Our Teen Week campers get a next-level camp experience with special activities and programs. As part of the SJYC family, they’ll build friendships and memories while beginning to explore leadership and personal development topics. When they come home, we’re sure they’ll already be planning for their next summer!
