This is our "baby" - the age-group that started our program 20 years ago!

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

The "Regular" program is a 1 week program.  There are 4 different schedules you can choose from, giving you many more trip combinations.  Four of the weeks (sessions 1, 3, 5, and 7) include an overnight trip.

Overnight Trips
This year, we have two new overnight trips.  One of the schedules will take you to Busch Gardens, the other to Rehoboth Beach.  

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 according to the 2 levels of supervision the parents have chosen from, "Structured Freedom" or "Chaperoned Group".  On all trips, the campers can choose their own groups everyday (within their supervision level). The campers are given times when we will do whole-group Check-Ins.  

"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.  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.

"Structured Freedom" - This gives the campers a sense of freedom since there will not be a staff member walking around with them at all times.  However, since the campers will always have a camp shirt a water-proof wristband on, we will be able to monitor them.  The campers MUST be in groups of 2 or more at ALL times.  They will be given check-in times (approximately every 2-3 hours).  At anytime a camper gets separated form their group or needs a staff - they can always go to "Base Camp".  This system allows for some freedom, within the guidelines of our camp safety rules.

"Chaperoned Group" -  In a “Chaperoned Group”, there will be 4-5 campers placed in a group which has a staff member that goes along with them at all times. The chaperone’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 (amusement parks, the beach, etc). All campers will still be responsible for mandatory check-ins and any belongings they have.  The “Chaperoned Group” will consist ONLY of campers whose parents request a “Chaperoned Group”. There is a $10 per camper/per session fee for this option.  The "Chaperoned Group" fee is non-refundable.  You will be able to sign up for this option when you receive the confirmation packet at the end of April.  If you have any questions regarding this matter - please call us (301) 540-4356.

Supervision
The ratio set for this program is 1 staff for every 10 campers.  On the long trips, the ratio goes to 1:7.  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 walking as floaters.  When floating, the staff will be walking around and making sure our campers are following the rules.  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.
