Juniors Program

The "JUNIORS" Program
Ages 8-10

Our "Juniors" program is based on the same premises as the "Regular" program, but some minor adjustments are made to accommodate for the younger campers.

In addition to all of the general summer camp information (found on the previous "Summer Camp" page), here are more details regarding the "Juniors" program.  A complete detailed itinerary of each camp session will be sent out with the camp confirmation packets aat the end of April.

The "Juniors" program is a 1 week program.  There are 4 weeks the Juniors Program is available.  There are 2 different schedules you can choose from.  The Juniors Program is available from ALL 8 of our locations.  There are only a limited number of "Junior" spots available.

Program Operations
In all Teens To Go programs, safety is our # 1 concern. Once we arrive at our destination, the first thing we do is set up our "Base Camp" and go over all the directions/information for the day.  From here, the campers are separated into groups.  We let them pick their groups, but also try to make sure the groups are compatible (even though you have a best friend, it may not be too fun at the amusement park if neither one of you like the same rides).  The Juniors will all automatically be in "Chaperoned Groups".  The campers are not "locked-in" to their groups.  They can change daily or even hourly (since all of our staff will be in contact by way of private 2-way radios).  We will do whole-group check-ins throughout the day.

"Base Camp" - this is our "command center".  It is a location where campers can go anytime during the trip for any reason and one of our staff will be there.  We also have a private 2-way radio system set up with the First Aid and Security Departments of all the major parks.  So, if there was ever an emergency concerning any of our campers, the local authorities know where and how to contact us.  Our Check-Ins are also located close to "Base Camp".  We will always have at least 2 staff here at all times.

"Chaperoned Group" -  All "Juniors" are in a "Chaperoned Group".  In a “Chaperoned Group”, there will be 4-5 campers with a staff member that goes along with them at all times. The chaperon's duties are to help facilitate the group with making decisions and staying together. This option is only for trips where the campers will be more spread out, i.e. amusement parks.  All campers will still be responsible for mandatory check-ins and any belongings they have.  If you have any questions regarding this matter - please call us (301) 540-4356.

The Juniors and the Regulars will be on the same bus.  Once the campers get to their trips, they will operate separately.

Supervision
The ratio set for this program is 1 staff for every 7 campers.  On the long trips, the ratio goes to 5:1.  In the "Chaperoned Group", the ratio averages 1 staff for every 4 campers.  If our staff are not with the "Chaperoned Groups" they are either stationed at "Base Camp" or as floaters.  When floating, the staff will be walking around and making sure our campers are doing what they should.  Also, if the campers need anything, they will have quicker access to the staff.  All of our staff have private 2-way radios so they can always be in contact with everyone.
