This program gives campers the opportunity to explore the community, stay active outdoors, and build confidence and independence while making new friends. Teen Travelers offers a different camp experience than a traditional day camp, with biking playing a major role in the group’s daily activities. The handbook confirms Teen Travelers as one of the core camp programs with its own meeting location and camp hours.
Campers in Teen Travelers will spend much of their day riding bikes to activities and locations throughout the community, so all participants must know how to ride a bike confidently and safely. Campers are expected to follow safe biking and traffic laws at all times while riding with their group.
