Along the way, they'll learn firsthand about environmental stewardship and finish the week with an overnight camping trip. Campers will sleep in either yurts or tents. See available sessions

Teen Adventure Trips • ages 14-17 • Weekly, June 27–July 31

Wildwood Teen Adventure Trips immerse campers in the natural wonders of the Northeast’s most beautiful areas. Go kayaking in Maine, hike on the Appalachian Trail, paddle Lake Champlain, explore Cape Cod beaches, and more. All trips focus on developing a love of the outdoors, and each takes a unique approach to welcome teens who have a wide variety of interests and levels of outdoor experience. Groups are small and co-ed, with two leaders and 5-9 teens. Participants practice outdoor living and develop a knowledge of the region's natural history. Although no prior experience in any of the activities is required, participants should be prepared and comfortable hiking with a multi-day backpack (see specific trips for specifies on number of miles and pack weight).

Counselors-in-Training • ages 16-17 • June 27–July 10, July 11-July 24, OR July 25-August 7 (2-week sessions)

The Counselors-in-Training (CIT) program helps teens develop leadership skills, learn how to work with children, and to share their love and knowledge of nature with younger campers. The summer starts with a week-long training program before moving into cabins with the campers. Daily meetings will give CITs a chance to build community, share experiences, develop job skills, and gain knowledge and experience to begin the transition from camper to counselor. CITs must be entering their senior year of high school in the fall.
