Teen Week
Ages 13 to 14
A Special Welcome to Teen Week
Hello Teen Campers and Families,
Teen Week is one of my favorite weeks of the entire summer, and I mean that. There is something special about watching teens arrive on Sunday and leave on Saturday as a completely different version of themselves. More confident. More connected. Ready to take on whatever comes next.
This summer, Teen Week brings back everything campers look forward to: kayaking on the lake, horseback riding on scenic trails, and testing their courage on the zipline and high ropes course. But beyond the activities, what makes this week unforgettable is the people. The friendships formed at Teen Week have a way of lasting far beyond summer, and that is something no activity schedule can fully capture.
Throughout the week, teens will work together, take on real challenges, and grow in ways they might not expect. Our staff are intentional about creating moments that push campers in the best possible way — moments that build confidence, resilience, and the kind of leadership that shows up in everyday life.
If this is your first Teen Week, welcome. If you are coming back, welcome home.
I cannot wait to see what this group of campers brings to the pines this summer.
See you at camp,
Sarah
Camp Director
Teen Week: A Next-level Camp Experience
Teen Week is a one-week (7 days, 6 nights) adventure designed just for campers ages 13 and 14. This is their chance to experience all the classic SJYC activities: horseback riding, archery, and kayaking, along with special teen-only programs, like high ropes courses and evening events.
Teen Week is more than just a week of fun. It gives campers the opportunity to grow, take on new challenges, and begin developing leadership skills in a supportive, encouraging environment. They will work together as a team, try new things, and build the confidence that comes from stepping outside their comfort zone.
By the end of the week, campers leave with new friendships, incredible memories, and a stronger sense of who they are — and most are already planning their return to camp next summer.
