Camp Time for Teens Too!

Posted: April 10, 2012

The teen years see increasing growth in hypothetical reasoning skills, development of values, and future planning - so a positive camp experience is more important than ever! Teens especially will benefit from the positive peer and mentoring relationships developed during the camp experience.

ACA has a wide range of resources for families of teens who are thinking about a camp experience.

  • Developmental Milestones for early and middle adolescence help families understand what growth is taking place, and how teens can benefit from a camp experience.
  • Healthy Teens provides online articles that deal with teen-specific issues from expert resources.
  • Child/Adolescent Development provides articles on developmental issues - both physical and social.
  • Find a Camp helps families choose the perfect camp program for teens based on a variety of factors including region of the country, interest, budget, and, of course, age.
